One thing that I think is truly rueful is that unlike the banks, the auto industry and AIG, the newspapers haven’t gone whining to Congress for bail outs. And arguably, the newspapers were more influential that the former in settling this country, making it America and making us all Americans. I say God Bless and Godspeed, Rocky Mountain News. We were so priviledged to have known you.

bummer. I remember reading the Rocky Mountain News all the time when I lived in Colorado in the eighties…
