Looks like this will be a slow week for the Times; today's paper didn't have anything extraordinary in it. I hear about politics so much in the news and in everyday life that reading about more politics in the newspaper is just plain unreadable.
I did like the story on the front page about cervical cancer, however. It's great to know that poorer countries are getting they need in terms of health and medicine. I also really liked the delayed lead for this story. I'm starting to see a general patter in the Times; political articles generally get summary leads while articles that tell a story or have a little emotion to them generally use summary leads. When I think about it, it would be pretty challenging to use a delayed lead for a political article. People want that kind of information fast, and a delayed lead would be rather boring.
