I found today's issue of the Times interesting because it displayed a variety of topics on the front page. It has seemed recently that many of the articles have revolved around the international economic issues. However, the front page today featured only a small "News Analysis" of the European market. The rest of the articles spanned a variety of topics: flood victims and disaster aid; sentencing and trial debates; a subsidized housing development in the Bronx; and suffrage for women in Saudi Arabia.
"Saudi Monarch Grants Women Right to Vote" caught my attention more than the other articles on the front page because it still astounds me that women have less rights than men in many parts of the world. I take for granted the fact that men and women in the United States have equivalent rights, while forgetting that many women have much lower social statuses throughout the world. This article used a summary lead, providing me with the basic facts at the beginning of the article and continuing to explain the impact of this decision and women's rights throughout the remainder of the article.
