Some papers actually got an interesting circulation boost 
there for a while in the mid '90s, including the Globe. I 
don't have the figures in front of me, but I want to say 
they got a 10-percent boost (or somewhere close to it) 
somewhere in 1997 or 1998. 

You're right, though, for the most part papers have been 
dropping circulation left and right for the better part of 
two decades now. 

Sometimes I just wish there was a
