If the NYT is being honest, why did they mention the pen and paper and drop the subject? I think something fishy is going on here. I don't think that journalist owns a pen or paper. I mean, I think he owns neither of those two objects, not even a single sheet, and not even one of those crummy pens you get for free that has some other business's name on it. Edit: Hold on, I stand corrected. This man has a notepad he keeps in his back pocket. I don't know how I missed that photo, but this reporter is legit. He has a notepad. He probably also has a pen because I see notes written on the notepad. All is right in the world.
