Recently, the NYP doubled its price to 50 cents, requiring buyers to part with not one but two shiny new quarters that would have been better spent on laundry. Now, however, they've reverted to selling their hardhitting journalistic coups at the bargain rate of 25 cents. Which, according to the Times, may have something to do with arch-rival New York Daily News. The Grey Lady investigates!

To recap New York City’s tabloid price war: the tabloid costing 25 cents went to 50, so the one at 50 went to 25, but it will return to 50 soon. And now, the one that just went to 50 has gone back to 25. Got that?

Makes perfect sense to us. Or, should we say "cents?"
