Are you saying they pay Rall too much?

If they pay Rall, it's too much.

I haven't sat down and read an LA Times in at least three years.

Twenty years ago the Times had a circulation of about 1.15 million, as I recall. I sometimes wonder how many actual SFDs get the paper. A lot of the issues are bought for the office, or for schools or for some other group purpose.
