Sunday must be the day when the NYTimes catches up on foreign features.
It carried 3 such articles today...about Brasil, Russia and Honduras.
The NYTimes revised paywall limits this news blog to 10 FREE visits per month....though it gives FACEBOOK users unlimited links.
Since this is currently an ad free...unmonetized newsblog...which allows fast loading...an uncluttered read...and no annoying fake Rolex or herbal viagra ads...it does not...and cannot link visitors to the NYT...because of the cost.
