What is the regular standard price of the New York Times Sunday edition?

They fly it out here for Sunday sales, but I haven't paid attention lately; the last time I saw, it was about $1.50 in Nebraska.

If it weren't for the fact that that POS rag routinely discloses classified information, it might be good to pick up a few hundred shares of that penny stock.

I think it was sometime during the Reagan administration that the ecofreaks pointed out that it cost more money to dispose of the Sunday New York Times--landfills, incineration, recycling, whatnot--than it cost the New York Times to print it, or the customer to buy it.
