OK I admit it--I started reading it the same way I started to like cappucino and wine with corks  in  the bottles. And the people who subscribe to it out here, like my brother, tend to be more of the connoiseur type, you might say. Wine Snobs, Mercedes drivers  and whatnot. (like my brother)

I really can't say why people like it out here, other than snob appeal---there's plenty of good newspapers out here
