Astronaut Scott Kelly: How Tom Wolfe Changed My Life
- simonebrunozzi 8y agoThere are currently 5 NYT articles on the front page of Hacker News. As you can easily guess, I am not a subscriber and I don't intend to become one. It would be really neat if someone could either post a quick TL;DR of these articles, or - if permitted - to repost the text of the article in its entirety, so that at least I can read it here on Hacker News before commenting.

I find that usually a google search on keywords provides free articles on exactly the same subject: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/08/astronaut-scott-kelly-tom-wolfe-the-right-stuff/amp https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vanityfair.com/style/2017/0... https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/5280444/scott-kelly-remembering-tom-wolfe https://www.google.com/amp/amp.timeinc.net/time/5280444/scot... Otherwise, NYT is not a bad newspaper.
- aidenn0 8y agoThe NYT has a very soft paywall. If you want to read it without subscribing you certainly can.
- ataturk 8y agoI kind of wish the NYT would just hurry up and go out of business. They are completely compromised ethically, for one thing.
- nyc111 8y ago> Oh,” he said. “I use a pencil.” But in the Paris Review Interview he mentions writing on a typewriter. He must have changed his habit. https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/2226/tom-wolfe-the-art-of-fiction-no-123-tom-wolfe https://www.theparisreview.org/interviews/2226/tom-wolfe-the...
