Yesterday’s News
[D.B. NORTON, spoken]
Ladies and gentleman
My name is D.B. Norton
The last two years have been difficult for all of us
But 1932 is within sight and can be a year of optimism and change
That is why I'm proud to announce
My acquisition of a true city institution;
The American Times
You can trust me to make the tough choices
To pull this great paper out of the red and into the future
New York, I give you:
The New American Times
