Printed newspapers won't last much longer, sadly. I always renew my
subscription for 13 months only (3 months). The price for this has
doubled in the past few years. I'll send in a renewal this week...13
weeks (plus the weekly tv guide that's extra) for $66.30 + tip for the
carrier.

It *is* still cheaper than buying each day at the store plus I get it
delivered early to my door. Also the tv guide...you only get that with
delivery, not in the store.
