[Dialogue] NY Times

[FacilitationFla@aol.com]

Hey Jack,
 
You've got more moolah than I do -- and $50. is the cost of two of  
Friedman's books!  And I assume you bought his latest, The Earth is  Flat!

George:

Jack is correct.  If you check the site that you  included with your 
email you will find that the section titled "Today's  Columnists" have a 
little icon in front of their articles.  That icon  means that, after a 
free trial period, these columnists will no longer be  free to read.  The 
icon is for the "TimesSelect" feature which is now  a subscription series 
that just started today, 9/19/05.
