Why I Love the Internet

You know I love the internet? Because I can be working on a story, and think, "you know, instead of just making up headlines from June 2nd, 1956, why I don't go find some actual headlines?" And I can go to nytimes.com, find an entire long list of articles in the paper that day, and pick out one or two that are absolutely perfect (a drought in the place where my story is set! a headline in which Nixon is quoted as declaring that voter apathy will be the downfall of the G.O.P....) and it doesn't take me more than 10 minutes and I don't have to leave my home.

Thank you, internet.
