I didn't know you could get the Times' columns for free. If they have a
limit, can you use another computer to get around the cost? Might be
good until the U.S election if I don't over-do? Otherwise, I'll have to
shop-around with relatives.

"Cowardice asks the question...is it safe? Expediency asks the question...is it politic? Vanity asks the question...is it popular? But conscience asks the question...is it right? And there comes a time when one must take a position that is neither safe, nor politic, nor popular but one must take it because it is right." ~Dr. Martin Luther King

Yup. Like they are going to tell a reader how to save $.
The New York Times adopted a paywall in 2011: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paywall
In April they halved # of articles to 10 non-subscribers were allowed to access before having to pay for content: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/20/new-york-times-paywall-non-subscribers-10-articles-free_n_1366669.html
As for circumventing the NYT Paywall, the good news is that even though apparently $40 million was spent to errect it, it is very easy to get around, this article has 7 methods:

Alternatively you could just use Google, or twitter as your front door for news, both are suggested in this article.
The NYT is not alone in adopting a paywall, several other outfits are following suit:

I suspect there is no fear in the Era Banner attempting something like this, given how few people turn to it for local news anyways.
Christopher,
WikiPedia is such an accurate source of information, I am surprised we have newspapers anymore.
Sounds as though Jon Stewart had a great show last night. So far, I haven't been able to get my paws on it.
WikiPedia does not have all information. Sometimes they respond saying that they have none and asking for whatever you know. It makes you stop and think about replying. In our case, we did not.
We need newspapers. After a day on the computer, your neck and shoulders really need to rest. Reading the Auroran is fine on line but also sitting quietly. Never mind all the other material culled from the Globe. Sorry, Christopher - but you can have the phone books.
"WikiPedia does not have all information. Sometimes they respond saying that they have none and asking for whatever you know. It makes you stop and think about replying. In our case, we did not."
My comment was tongue in cheek. Our friend likes to quote Wikipedia a lot. As any high school student who is working on a research project about what their teacher says about Wikipedia - it will open your eyes.
I think Wikipedia is like opinions. And opinions are like a**H***s. Everyone has one but you don't really want to see it.
5:19 I agree.
Your comment about phonebooks makes no sense.
