Sorry to intrude, Doug. The only thing I've read or heard that would
affect my attitude about the paper is the article posted by Harry, and
the fact that Harry considers it to be "well respected."

Granted, those are not sufficient reasons for a reasonably fair person
to form an opinion, but I'm just trying to be honest here.

I answered only because you expressed an interest in enlightenment,
which, as a teacher, I find most noble.

I'm already enlightened on this subject. I'm just goading the terminally
stupid to get him to explain himself.

How about the Watertown Daily Times (http://www.wdt.net/) ? I wonder if
Tuuk
has any special insights about that newspaper.

I spent two glorious months in Watertown, or just outside, at what
used to be Camp Drum. The Watertown Daily Times is a *most*
respectable newspaper!

Is there still a lesbian bar downtown?

No idea. But I'll be headed up there in the spring for bass fishing. I'll
let you know. Did you ever run into Fred Ecksley, the author, in any of the
bars up that way? He was one of Watertown's most famous exports.


I was a Private First Class in my first year of active duty. This was
in the spring of 1966. We shot a lot of 105mm artillery rounds all
over Camp Drum and spent most of our time getting the damn trucks
unstuck from the mud. I got to town only one or two times, and
couldn't afford any more than one or two beers. Didn't meet anyone
that I can remember, except soldiers in the 196th Light Infantry
Brigade.
