The Big Town is the Big Top for Rupert Murdoch’s newly minted News Corporation, which owns umpteen newspapers across the globe.
Most notable here in the US: the New York Post and the Wall Street Journal, the Goofus and Gallant of American journalism.
But they were kissin’ cousins on Wednesday, as this ad in the Journal indicated:
The Post advertising in the Journal.
These are indeed the end times.
Campaign Outsider 
‘Tis interesting.
But, in a world that is doing its best to to make dead-tree publications extinct, having a place to advertise is a plus for those of us for whom the dead-tree stuff is still of interest.
Another signal that the end times are near: the Boston Chamber Music Society will perform Olivier Messiaen’s “Quartet for the End of Time” on Sunday December 16th at 4:00 pm at MIT’s Kresge Auditorium in Cambridge. http://www.bostonchambermusic.org/concerts/m-i-t-series/ (The title of the Messiaen piece is given in French in the link, but I have thoughtfully translated it for you).
