    To think they could have avoided the bad press by instead trumpeting their commitment to Green by transitioning these comp'd subs to the online version, which has a marginal cost of 0.

    Yet they're still mailing dozens of extra copies to ad agency reps who never open its protective wrapper, let alone read the damn thing.

    Except me, of course.

    @britneyspearstears: You get a protective wrapper? I haven't seen a wrapper since the 80's. I just get the magazine with the mailing label stuck on the cover. I want protection!

    I get a professional subscription for $25 per year. How can they not afford this for their old timers?

    It was not that their subscriptions were canceled; it's that the magazine is no longer being published. They just haven't yet announced it publicly.

    Sounds like they are going to save 25% by getting rid of the dead tree editions.

    Meanwhile, the big guys take Town Cars and have yet to darken the entryway to coach class.

    I fear that it will be the little things like this - people trying to "show they're cost-sensitive" - and the lowest on the totem pole suffer, while Anna will still be spending $50,000 a day for her Paris fashion shows week.

    So the old ladies can head over to Barnes & Noble on a weekday afternoon, order a cup of hot water, pull teabags out of their purses, and read the New Yorker in the seating area. Problem solved -- and they get some fresh air!

    Well, Harold Ross said it wasn't for the little old lady from Dubuque. Conde's Consumer Marketing division just expanded on the original concept.

    The placeholder DA in Santa Clara County invited her husband to sit in on one conference, maybe more, regarding a certain murder prosecution. The DA's husband was coincidentally working as a consultant for the family of the victim in the crime under discussion. I think, in all fairness, she did explain that she was merely protecting the taxpayers by insuring public office furniture was utilized to the max.

    Oh, uh, there won't be any money, but when you die, on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.

    Hamilton,


    Not only are rich smarter, but they are also better poets:


    It's easy to grin / When your ship comes in / And you've got the stock market beat. / But the man worthwhile, / Is the man who can smile, / When his shorts are too tight in the seat.
