32. The NYT wrote 117 words about this announcement on page A18, or so the parents noted.

I confirmed the bottom of the page placement and page number, but not the word count. Appalling, like the non-reporting on GMOs or protests by the NYT.

OTOH, the paper of record in NJ published their article on the front page of section 2. This article appeared online resembling an advertisement (I needed to use C+F to find it) and apparently only 23 readers commented. Typcally, over 500 comments are found on articles about CC. I don't think that necessarily indicates apathy, but it might, and it's sad, IMO.


My feeling is that this has to do with toxic chemicals in the environment in NJ LiberalEsto Mar 2014 #1
