KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa. (WPVI) -- A tractor-trailer carrying 19,000 copies of advanced sections for Sunday's New York Times overturned on a highway ramp outside Philadelphia, littering the side of the road with bundles of Arts & Leisure, Travel and Book Review.

A Times spokeswoman says the driver appeared to sustain minor injuries in the crash around 5:30 a.m. Thursday on a ramp connecting the eastbound Schuylkill Expressway to Route 202 in King of Prussia. They're awaiting toxicology test results.

Eileen Murphy, the Times' vice president for corporate communication, says the 18-wheeler was en route to drop off sections printed in New York for home delivery subscribers in the Philadelphia area. She says the destroyed papers will be replaced and delivered.

My avast goes crazy every time I come to this thread. It doesn’t like the link to the story for some odd reason.

By the time I got done I was black from newsprint.

My Mom subscribed to the Sunday Times. We weren’t allowed to read it, in the living room, because of the newsprint. Supposedly, upper class folks bought cotton gloves, to read it with. I can still recall going to wash my hands, and being able to read several sentences, that were imprinted on my forearms.

I know the younger folks scoff at this notion, but it is true. Put “hot type” in your search engine. Thank you!

Sounds like we both found good reason to hate the NYT even before we knew they were flaming commie-libs.
