- lurquer 6y agoAt the library. Microfiche. I'd get a bagel and coffee, walk across courtyard to the library, and read through that days paper (100 years back.) Very depressing comparing the news then to now... if there was a bill at issue, the text of the bill would be included in full. The grammar was perfect. Few typos. Vocabulary was rich. In short, it was well-written and edited. There is nothing like it ... anywhere ... any more.
