I just want my NYTimes, even if Chomsky hates it

I moved to New York totally broke and had this vague idea that I might get a paper route, but I couldn't even imagine how newspaper delivery might work in New York, where people live in apartment buildings and the deliveryperson wouldn't have a key.

Now, after attempting to subscribe to the New York Times for the past several months, I can tell you that paper delivery simply does not work in New York, unless you are upper-crusty and have a doorman.

I'd say I receive one out of four papers delivered to my building, and then I have to call the Times, which happily gives me a credit and doesn't solve the problem at all.

I just want to read the damn paper. I was in LA this past Saturday and really wanted the Times, which was for sale in the LA airport -- but in a horrible, West Coast, much-abbreviated version without the local news and various other apparently-expendable sections.

I would like an unexpurgated, non-stolen paper. Please. Jesus.
