...local newspaper, once an indispensable part of daily life, is becoming just one more piece of information clutter. Readership is declining even as new technologies transform or undermine the role newspapers have traditionally played: that of town crier, bulletin board, community troublemaker and trusted interpreter of the outside world. For years newspaper circulation has in general been on an inexorable slide. Between 1992 and 1995 it fell about 3% nationwide, with some major papers taking even bigger hits.

Last week the Taliban's leader, Maulana Mohammad Omar, a one-eyed former cleric who is also known as Commander of the Faithful, had yet to make an appearance, running the capital from his base 300 miles to the south in Kandahar. And the Taliban aren't finished fighting. The forces of ousted President Burhanuddin Rabbani, led by former Army Chief Ahmad Shah Massoud, are holed up 31 miles north of Kabul...
