I read your paper more closely today than I ever did in the last 14 years, but still could not notice anything "new" except the slight change in the font type and size of your headlines. So I am at a loss as to what the fuss was all about. Instead of resorting to cheap gimmicks like these, I would rather that you enhanced the basic content of your newspaper. As an example, all major newspapers of the world include a thick and colorful pull-out section for weekend reading. How many extra pages of reading does The Japan Times offer in its Sunday edition?
