Best story yet in the relentless barrage of news coming out of Cooperstown: NYT reporter/heir A.G. Sulzberger breaks a date to cover the story (haven't we all?), orders a Diet Coke (but he's so slim already!), and worries about costing his father's multi-billion-dollar publishing empire big bucks on his expense account.
Waller said Sulzberger had commented that he was on an expense account and asked about less-costly lodging than the Holiday Inn, and she referred him to a bed and breakfast operated by friends.
But Sulzberger said he had broken a date with a new girlfriend for the Cooperstown assignment, and he wanted to make amends, Waller said, and the reporter left Monday night.
Well, guess that answers this question.
