"how is their sports page?"

I can't answer that because I don't read it! But it's about the only place where my husband can find in-depth information about his Formula 1 races (if I remember to clip it for him!). Just checked. The Oct. 21st sports section had football, college and pro, baseball, pro hockey, pro soccer, pro basketball, golf and a "scoreboard" for basketball, football, college football weekend schedule listing wins/losses for both teams, pro football calendar, "Deals"--who new managers/players are, boxing, soccer, tennis, hockey and motorsports! Plus 5 business pages. Seems like pretty good coverage to me I'm sure you could get a trial subscription of a week or a month.

Their World news is phenomenal. The feature, Regional Briefing, is presented daily; Mon-Global Issues; Tues-The Americas; Wed-Middle East;Thu-Africa;Fri-Asia-Pacific; Sat-Western Asia;Sun-Europe (including asia). One of my favorite ones was titled "Coalition gives Afghans health care-Military hospitals, mobile clinics only hope for thousands" byline Leon Sevunts. Four full-page columms with photos and the actual reporting of assistance to patients. You will not find this info anywhere else.

An earlier one was about U.S. troops having their own "marathon" in Afghanistan. Another was two full pages of what the various countries in Africa are really doing about Aids.

Saturday's paper has full a page every week of Civil War battles, stories. Sunday's Family page has Dr. Rosemond and also Dr. Sylvia Rimes common-sense child psychology issues and also a column on home schooling. I would say the knowledge gleaned fom 4 years' reading of the WT would surpass many college programs today--altho that really isn't saying a whole heck of a lot, is it? Plus that inimitable comic strip, Mallard Fillmore, the conservative duck!

No, I'm not on their sales staff! But I would go without my eye makeup before I would give up the Times! I can say that because it isn't likely to happen!
