        At some level the most notable print of this is "All the News That's Fit to Print". When the NYT was worthy of respect.

        The NYT still is one of our best sources of news, and worthy of respect, and even publish corrections to mistakes, including trivial ones.

        A poignant expression of his hopes for a better world after much sacrifice. We lost him last year at almost 97--always proud of his service

        Fascinating but also a bit bizarre to see M'ARTHUR, like they couldn't squeeze in a little C. Foiled by kerning.
