The NYTimes website has discovered that its readers are unwilling to pay to read its opinions. After two years, TimesSelect has been discontinued.
Global Review readers can celebrate by reading the incisive commentary of New York's finest: Paul Krugman, the Times economics writer, says Republicanism is racism. Jerome Karabel reveals the shocking news that rich kids go to elite colleges. Maureen Dowd uses the words uxorious and casuistry, but the Times fortunately lets you double-click on any word for its definition. How accommodating these titans of the mind are of us mere mortals! Of course, for opinion balance they do have a conservative writer, John Tierney. But wait, he's been shunted off to the Science Times. Balance... never mind.
Hat tip on the Times editorial glasnost to BrownPau.
