I'm watchin' the (GREAT) film, 'Newsies'.


Pulitzer TRIED TO raise the price of newspapers for the "distribution-apparatus":

((Pulitzer (Robert Duval) calculated ALOUD.)

"A tenth of a cent TIMES 40,000 weekly papers DIHJUH, DIHJUH, DIHJUH" in New Yahk TIMES 52 weeks in a year =
0.01 x 40,000 x 52.2857… =
400 x ~52.29 =
~2091600 =
~$20,916

(… Almost 21 "grand" in 1899-NYC--let alone any-TIME, any-WHERE--is a SIZABLE amount!)


MORAL:
I need a NEW HOBBY-0BESIDES watching movies and doing math.

NOW, I'll speak in third-person.

"Oh, (A.J.K.)?  Yeah, he was here.  But, he put an egg in his shoe and BEAT IT."
