Yup, it just cements my impression of the paper. But it sure is a welcome sight on foreign newsstands!

offer is dead

I like USA Today once in a while, but that statement in itself doesnt make sense. Unless you're talking about a former President? :) I believe GW is the one that openly said "I glance at the headlines just to kind of get a flavor for what's moving. I rarely read the stories, and get briefed by people who are probably read the news themselves". :rolleyes:

Too bad I missed the offer though :(

Received my first USA Today issue in the mail.

Of course it was yesterday's paper and I wouldn't ever read USA Today if my knowledge depended on it, but thanks for the offer! ^ (we have paper trained our dog, so the brief subscription will come in handy) :D

The WSJ has international editions, and there's always the IHT. The IHT is my friend when overseas!

McNews
 

McNews pretty much sums it up.

yes...for the money and front pages....BUT hands down the best sports page in the US. Maybe the Boston Globe gets 2nd place....

Slippahs, how long ago did you sign up?? I signed up about a week ago, but Id be surprised if it came that fast.

Beats me, but probably when this thread first appeared. (so about May 24th).

Thanks for this. I signed up a couple of weeks ago and got my first paper (home delivery, not by mail) on Tuesday.

I signed up a couple weeks ago, but still no sign of the paper. Anyone else still waiting for delivery to start?

I signed up within a day or two and I'm still waiting for my first issue.

I use to love the IHT when I was an expatriate...but then the NYT (a great paper as well) turned it into an international edition of the NYT. I much preferred the editorial independence of the IHT previously and the balanced mix of Washington Post and NYT articles that were included.

As for USA Today...still waiting for it. I hope they deliver it by hand not by mail...

Received. Took about 10 days.

still no paper.
