Back in the days (not so long ago!) when dead trees, properly pulverized, were print journalism’s most reliable source for spreading the news, we all understood two things about America’s greatest newspapers, The New York Times and The Washington Post:

2. You could always find a great front-page news story in The Times and The Post – if you kept turning enough pages.
And so it was, Wednesday morning, when I checked out their Page 1 news displays, side-by-side.
In the middle of The New York Times’ front page, above the fold, was a news story that immediately commanded my attention: “Retail Chains Found at Fault in Opioid Crisis.”
