OUR KLEENEX CULTURE

. . . It takes about 850 acres of Canadian timber to print one Sunday's New York Times. . . . The New York Times sells for 50¢ (1972) and contains more paper and typography than an unillustrated novel selling for $7.95. While the Times carries about 500 photographs and drawings in its Sunday edition and a novel does not, book-binding costs average 22¢ per book. It costs the city of New York nearly 10¢ per copy each week to clean up discarded copies of the Sunday New York Times.
