NYT crack coverage

He was a stranger in a crowd of 26,000. Cho Seung-Hui was even unknown to the young man who for nearly a year slept just feet away from him.
Why don't you just title the article how to scare the shit out of every freshman in the world.
Although Mr. Cho told his roommate he was a business major, the university said today that he was an English major
Is this significant? Is this top of the line reporting? A connection between lying and mass murder. Is it just me?

The suite is made up of three rooms, each with two students, and a common area with a couch and two chairs. There were no decorations on the walls and the bathroom, in typical college fashion, was littered with discarded soap dispensers and bits of toilet paper. Above the stall was a sign reminding everyone to flush when they were done.

Mr. Aust spoke just outside his room, on the wall outside the door was Mr. Aust’s name was with that of his roommate, spelled “Sueng-ho,” on an orange cutout of a fish provided to all the students by the resident advisor when they moved in last August.

A description of a dorm room with a cardboard nameplate. I am sure his roommates enjoy the analysis of a psychopaths room....... Really, this is supposed to be from the best news organization in the world?

When he was in the room, he would spend a lot of time on his computer, downloading music and stuff,” Mr. Aust. said. There was no single style of music that he particularly liked in particular, from rock to country to pop.

He listened to all types of music.What???

This is pathetic. I am going to seriously cut down my news in the next month. Maybe this is a sign to take the summer off.
