I’ll be the first to admit that I have a thing for local newsstands. I couldn’t stop myself from marveling at how the USA Today logo anchors each row of these European newspapers.

My stepmother introduced to me El Pais when my parents lived in Madrid. My father taught himself Italian by reading Corriere Della Serra when we lived in Genoa in the early ’70s.

Noticing the USA Today logo, Jennifer remarked, “Its like watching TV in Israel, and all of the sudden discovering Bill O’Reilly sandwiched in between France 24 and Arabic soap operas.”
