Funny thing, the only times I've ever read USA Today were, back in the days when sleepers were cheaper & I had more money, the ones when an Amtrak attendant would slip one under the door of my sleeper room. Always found it a dissapointment, I'd rather have had the local rag for the area. I always buy & read local newspapers whilst on vacay, it's fun to see what the big news of the area might be.
