Although the group has not articulated the formula it used to derive the $4 million total, it is clear that some payment above the current level may be in order. University officials are fond of saying that a large part of the $2 million Harvard pays now is "voluntary," but such claims represent mere semantic distinctions.

Denson has designed a stylish, magazine-like tabloid filled with canned features from syndicates and wire services, graced with an aggressively pro-business editorial page and almost devoid of breaking stories. Saffir defends that formula, which was first presented in a June 27 preview edition, on the grounds that the city's three major dailies generally avoid syndicated material. "New Yorkers never get to see this stuff, so it will be fresh and new to them," he says. It is also cheaper than hiring reporters...
