I have been quiet as of late for four reasons:

1) sick child/wife
2) end of semester and two exams today
3) asked to write answers for end-of-chapter questions for four chapters of the new edition of Stock and Watson's Econometrics textbook (harder than I thought)
4) my access to the historical NYT has been blocked by a computer glitch. Today, I finally called ProQuest (who offer the service through our library) and in twenty seconds the guy on the other end of the phone has a workaround and now I am back in play.

I will have to sift through a week's worth of NYT to see if there is anything interesting, but as I have received a few emails expressing interest in the "c. 1906 project," it will continue.
