NY Times finally comes around

From NY Times Does the Math: Pay Walls Don’t Make Sense

Good news for all us casual news browsers out there: the NY Times has finally dropped its subscription service and made all articles since 1987 available for free online. Particularly of interest to me is the availability of Thomas Friedman’s Op-Ed pieces, as linked to in my Blogroll. The topics he covers include Middle Eastern politics/wars, globalization, economics, information technology, and more. Along with his articles, he has written the following books, all of which are excellent:

The World is Flat – Globalization

The Lexus and the Olive Tree – Globalization

From Beirut to Jerusalem – Middle Eastern politics

Longitudes and Attitudes – Terrorism
