The CJ was extremely late even discovering the Internet, long barricaded in its own little Alamo amid a great deal of denial that either content or advertising could exist out there on that newfangled Web thang, and I don't think they've ever fully gotten it.

I wonder if anybody actually buys a newsstand copy to read a Sunday Exclusive rather than just waiting for it to show up on the 'net on Monday. Or not reading it at all.
