In the New York Times today:
Intense Protests Again Shut Down Midtown Manhattan Streets
Protesters marched at campuses and through Midtown on Thursday as anger and fear over the war in the Middle East escalated.
The second-to-last paragraph of the article reads --
"As the protest wound its way up Eighth Avenue toward Times Square, it paused in front of the doors of The New York Times - with dozens breaking off to protest in the lobby - before returning to Bryant Park."

I was thinking, it's one of those rare occasions when the newspaper's reporters don't have to leave the office and go out and get the story - the news story came right into their lobby.
Convenient.
