From LA Observed: Apparently the last stand alone Sunday Book Review-slash-Opinion section will run in the Times on July 27. After that, books coverage will be in Calendar and Sunday's opinion pieces will run in the A section — and on the web. We reported Wednesday on other sections ending sooner. Spoke too soon.

I'm especially disappointed to hear the Book Review section may get the ax. It's one of the last in the country, and one of my favorite features the Times has to offer.

How many other jobs/industries have disappeared? I remember friends working in the now defunct stell mills, automotive plants, consumer electronics and aerospace industries. This may just be the change of the times, very few folks suscribe to a newspaper and even fewer buy the paper for the sales ads/coupons. How many people under the age of 40 ever suscribed to a print newspaper or bought a newspaper from a newstand? The only difference now, is that the people losing their jobs this time, are the ones who write the news stories. How many in the news staff were concerned and wrote about the outsourcing of thousands of jobs to India, or the loss of manufacturing jobs to China and other cheap labor markets? Welcome to the club, I'll see you all in the unemployment line. Join the club!! How many other jobs/industries have disappeared?
