CHALLENGING THE 'TIMES'

CHALLENGING THE 'TIMES': Stanley Kurtz has a useful column in The National Review that looks at the expansion plans of the New York Times, and continues the argument that the Washington Post should go national to fill the vacuum created by an increasingly on-the-run Grey Lady.

I'm all for that. Sure, the Post's stories are widely read because they're available through wire services nationwide, but it would be great to go into any bookstore or 7-11 in the nation and purchase an edition of the paper that carries a national slant.
