Los Angeles vs. New York City

Could an article such as this (an LA Times interview with William Shattner) appear in the New York Times? I don't think so. The LA Times invests less effort in discussing the Wall Street/Washington corridor and devotes more time to the big personalities hanging around Hollywood. I guess this is comparative advantage and I prefer the LA Times to the NY Times. The NY Times may cover more important people but my hometown newspaper reports about more interesting people.

Summer is quickly approaching. My friends who teach at schools on the semester schedule have been on summer break starting about 2 weeks ago --- while us "quarter people" keep marching on for another two weeks. The 10 week quarters fly by. For reasons, I can't fully explain --- I will be teaching summer school this summer.
