filene's

i disagree, hound. i think the nyt strategy has hurt them enormously. seeling outright, at best they can hope for a filene's basement-type deal but contigencies would damn it much like it did with gw/k&g. their best hope is the newspaper equivalent of the sportsworld sign-and-trade deal and the animosity they've brokered with the guild makes that as likely to happen as a sox-yankees team-to-team deal. ain't happening.
