This is good news. About 5 - 6 months ago I was surveyed by the NYT's
about their AOL area. I indicated that there wasn't much there for me -
I like to see all the articles, not just book reviews, etc. I wonder if
going forward, one will be able to search for articles, names, events,
etc...I'm not ready to cancel my subscription.
