That's ridiculous.  You can get home delivery of the whole paper 7 days 
a week for just about the same price.  Check out the "home delivery" 
section of the Boston Herald website and they are selling home delivery 
for 52 weeks at $1.25 a week.  If you get that deal, you also apparently 
get total access to the website for no extra charge.  So, why would 
anyone pay the same price to read a single columnist?
