Paul Krugman informs me that this sounds conspiratorial, as if he takes
orders from the editorial board of the NY TIMES.
I apologize, especially since I hate conspiracy theory (it's a
mind-killer). PK does not take orders from the editors. Rather, it's a
mutually-beneficial deal between him and the TIMES. They like his political
perspective and he likes theirs.
