...less space. The Los Angeles Times cut back the number of home delivery samples it sends to nonsubscribers, while both the Phoenix (Ariz.) Gazette and Arizona Republic dropped their first editions. The Westerly (R.I.) Sun ran a survey asking readers which features in the paper they would prefer to see omitted...

Those who like it usually don't like Godard, Resnais, exponents of the New Sensibility; they prefer Elvira Madigan to The Emigrants, Tolstoy to Proust, Flaubert to Gide. They choose oreos over hydrox, Pepsi over Coke, The Beatles over Traffic, Ritz over Saltines, Lily Pulitzer over Design Research, Cliffie peaches over Cliffie limes, and so on and so forth.
