People Queuing to Buy a Copy of Today’s Times

20081105line

From Khoi’s blog:

Just a few minutes ago, some of my colleagues noticed a line forming out in front of the Times Building. People are queuing up to buy already scarce copies of today’s newspaper, presumably as mementos of the historic election of Barack Obama to the office of President of the United States.

  1. and my wonderful husband got the very last one in that queue! gotta love em!

  2. Actually I think today’s issue just had a hell of a Sudoku. ;)

  3. I went to get a copy of the NZZ declaring the president-elect, but at 09:30 in Brugg, I couldn’t locate any. Had to make a screen photo of the online version for my blog.

  4. Where to go to get one? What we will pass on to our daughters?

  5. It might not be the same as grabbing an actual physical copy, but you can go to http://www.newseum.com and grab a digital copy of the front page of many American and international websites.

  6. That is an amazing photo!

  7. That’s pretty amazing. I can’t really grasp how many days like this have defined my generation, but there’s no doubt that it’s an exciting time to live!

  8. Check out this gallery of 700 covers of Obama around the world…
