I never see people reading them or buying them, either in the United States or in Romania. Their death has been long predicted, but their bony hands cling on. Telemarketers ring you during dinner time to peddle Sunday-only subscriptions in America these days, so you know the situation is dire indeed if they stoop that flopping low.

Nothing more IMHO.
