This week's Sunday NYT feature

...will not be appearing in this space. My Sunday New York Times has not arrived, and the outlook isn't good for delivery any time today. When I called to enquire, I discovered that there is not actually a human being working anywhere in the subscription department (so apparently it's not just the newsroom...).

Which raises an interesting question about whether this is any way to run a business. The NYT is already in the running for next Saturday's Liability, so it should hope some really juicy scandal displaces it.
