    Per the linked story: The Star has gone from employing 1,800 to 1,300 in recent years.

    They took some big hits in 2001 thanks to K-R.

    They may be making out better than most, but still, it's no picnic there.

    Well, they had to pay for that beautiful building somehow.
    Seriously, for newspaper junkies, it's comparable to a blackjack player seeing the Bellagio for the first time.
