Interesting contrast between the NY Times coverage of people crossing the
Mexican border for cheaper gas prices:

-S9YQ4a0yfZiFornCnu3j/w> &adxnnlx=1214384758-S9YQ4a0yfZiFornCnu3j/w 

and the Wall Street Journal's version [USMA:41205] posted yesterday.  The NY
Times completely hides liter pricing, while the WSJ embellishes it, both in
pictures and the lead paragraph of the story.

Seems the business community embraces metric, if we could just get some of
the media and the "AP styleguide" out of the way.
