Kudos to the NYT and WSJ this morning, in the wake of another 200-point drop
in the Dow yesterday. Neither turned the news into a big front-page story, as
they probably would have done a couple of weeks ago. And the NYT, indeed, didn’t
even bother to write its own story on the stock market at all: it just put a
standard AP report on the back page of the business section. It’s heartening
to see stock-market gyrations kept in their proper perspective, for once.
