When I lived in Germany, The Stars & Stripes was my only connection (along with Armed Forces Radio) to the United States. It was really the first newspaper I read on a daily basis. Every morning I eagerly leafed through it to find the Cubs box score, and wondered who the players were because only their last names were listed. (Ontiveros? Who is this guy playing third base?)
I was bummed to read this about the Stars & Stripes this morning. They are having a "sad and difficult time". Layoffs are coming.
I hope they can stay afloat.
