New York Times: Wednesday, September 14, 2011

I didn't find a lot in today's paper that interested me.  Since a lot of the news lately has involved a lot of violence and death I decided to skip over the stories that avoided that.  I found that the article about the increased poverty had an excellent summary lead.  I knew exactly what I was going to read as soon as I read the first paragraph.  Surprisingly there was another article about homosexuality; this time the story was about same sex marriage.  This article also had an excellent summary lead.  While I like leads that tell a story and have a emotional value I'm finding that stories with summary leads can also be fun to read.
