I love reading newspapers. Print and online. Big and small. One favorite is The Forward. (I started when they published Ben Katchor, and stayed hooked even after culture editor Alana Newhouse left to join Nextbook and oversee its development of the brilliant Tablet.)
Back to The Forward. One regular feature is worth the price of the paper – ForwardLookingBack, which reprints items from 100, 75, and 50 years ago. Much like Scientific American. A treasure-trove of American history, with stories worthy of Kafka and Singer.
