"On the question about the newspapers outside his apartment, he says: You know where I first heard about this? From the mouth of Bob Woodward. They weren't just left in a stack in the lobby either, if you're really interested. In black sharpie marker on the front page the apartment number they were to be delivered to was written. You think there was just a pile of newspapers on the floor? People pay for subscriptions. If there was a pile, people's newspapers would go missing and they would be upset. That's why newspapers are DELIVERED TO THE PEOPLE WHO PAY FOR THEM. Not left in random piles. Good reporting, Ann."

As to this issue, the last three office buildings/towers I worked in, all had papers left in the lobby, with address tags affixed. Primarily WSJ, a very expensive paper. Me thinks if they leave them now in the lobby, they left them then in the lobby as well, 30 plus years ago I would think theft was less likely to occur.

thanks good point. But my friend cited an AJC story inwhich it says that the people's names were written on their paper. Is that true?
