...York has welcomed Wolfe as the traditional Outsider come to tell them about themselves. Confusing him with camp, pop art, underground movies, and whatever else is au courant, they've honeyed him into a parlor gadfly, who describes the vital, vulgar, exotic American Now which is as far from their sphere of knowledge or comprehension as Ulan Bator. He himself admits that his readership significantly overlaps with that of his hated New Yorker...
...Claus 'raus!" Asked Rotterdam's good grey Nieuwe Courant. "Can a German put flowers at our memorials for heroes he fought against?" Amsterdam's Het Parool objected that the future queen's husband "cannot be a man whom a large part of the Dutch people meets with reluctance." The Calvinist daily Trouw, which came out in favor of the match, was barraged with angry letters; though published letters against the marriage averaged 55% in most papers, editors conceded privately that the actual mail was nearer 70% against.

A paper of that name was indeed founded in Annapolis in 1727-37 years before the Courant's birth. But that Maryland Gazette died in its tenth year. It stayed dead until 1922, when the Maryland Republican, a paper independently established in Annapolis in 1809, appropriated its predecessor's name and dusted off the title...
...masthead of the New York Post, which has been in continuous daily publication since that year* and under the same name.-As for the country's oldest newspaper, daily or weekly, that title, too, lies beyond doubt. In 1837, a 73-year-old Hartford weekly named the Connecticut Courant put forth a daily edition called the Hartford Courant. Thus the U.S.'s oldest newspaper describes an ancestorless continuum that is a straight line two centuries long...
