Most U.S. newspapers are similarly prepared, though the obituary inventories vary widely, from the Boston Globe's ten entries to the New York Times's 2,000 (Ferhat Abbas to Adolph Zukor), some of them set in type. Times Metropolitan Editor Abe Rosenthai, whose responsibilities include custody of the obituary files, assigns their preparation to appropriate members of the paper's editorial staff.

As the first female descendant of Patriarch Adolph Ochs to attain such eminence, Granddaughter Ruth, now 43, accepted her new stewardship with both humility and respect for tradition. "The Chattanooga Times," she wrote in a statement for the editorial page, "continues under the direction of the same family that has guided its path since 1878.
