The front page was not too exciting today. Many of the stories were straightforward summary lead stories, such as "European Leaders Confront Basics of Debt Dilemma" and "Tunisians Vote in a Milestone of Arab Change." The picture along side of the voting story made me want to examine it, but was not very visually appealing. It showed people waiting in line to vote, but I think the editors of the Times could have chosen a better picture showing a larger group of voters so that readers could see the vast number of people who turned out to vote.
The article towards the bottom page, "Slaughter of Horses Goes On, Just Not in U.S.," made me aware of a disturbing issue that I was unaware of before. It began with a clear and concise summary lead to explain the problem and the results of past decisions. I thought the picture next to this story was good choice for the article; it shows a breeder with an adopted horse, and they appear to be in a struggle, a metaphorical representation of the problem of the slaughter houses in the article.
