Harper's Index

Remember the Harper's Index column where they list "interesting" statistics?

Let's do the same with the NY Times (courtesy O'Reilly):

- Number of times in last 28 days that Abu Ghraib story was on the front page of NYT: 28
- Number of NYT front page stories on Abu Ghraib during past 28 days: 50
- Page on which news of seven al-Qaida suspects and summer terrorist alert appeared: 7

I did like that the NYT published this thoughtful column by Kenneth Woodward explaining the background behind the John-Kerry-and-the-Eucharist-debate, which seemed to spring out of nowhere.
