The New York Times today launched its new "Times Select Feature." This innovation allows readers of the online version of the NYT the privilege of paying $49.95 per year to read "select" columns appearing in its daily edition. The program is similar to that of the Wall Street Journal's online program, with one very important difference: what you're paying to read.
Here's today's "select" materials:

How can I live without it?
Sure, I'll pay $35 bucks a year for access to their crossword puzzles, but not a nickle for Herbert, Rich, or Krugman. I read them only as a form of penance.
Good luck, boys.
