Re: Does anyone subscribe to the NY Times?

I get the New York Times, but believe me it wasn't easy making it happen. Calling the Statesman as has been recommended was a good first step, but then dealing with the New York Times due to problems thereafter was no picnic. I'd get the paper for a couple of days, then no paper for a couple of days, then a paper, then no paper. (I think part of the problem was there are different carriers for weekdays and weekends, and I live in a particularly hard-to-find-house - one of the garden homes.) To complicate things, the Times has some sort of wacky software that has to be updated in two places or it doesn't work right... long story short, after about 3 weeks of infuriation, everything got straightened out and I haven't missed a paper now in about two months. So, yes, call the Statesman and enlist their help in getting you on the delivery radar - and then prepapre for some possible short-term snags.Or maybe they've got it all working now that they've been coming here a while. (If that were true, though, you'd think they'd know about our existence when you call to subscribe.) Good luck.
