New York TImes, Monday Paper

As I was reading through the New York Times today I noticed that the front page had two different articles about and referencing to Obama and the government. I thought it was interesting because the stories were very different; one concentrating on the negativity of the government getting involved the other focusing on Health care.
I thought the article on Health care was very interesting because of the way it was first presented on the front page. The five pictures made you zone in on the story and have it be the first story that you read. I thought the quotes bellow them were different because they were continued very interesting to the next line connecting all the photos together.
One article that I thought was very interesting was “Disney Faces Rights Issues Over Marvel” in the Business section. I thought it was interesting because when Disney bought out Marvel at first I wondered what they would have rights over. I learned that many different companies such as Fox, Sony and Paramount all own rights to Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, and “Iron Man”. Marvel selling to Disney could cause trouble for these major companies and their character rights. I did not realize that the deal could have such a major effect on companies that produce major movies and how it could affect many people. The trouble that would be caused would be the creator of these characters, Jack Kirby, and that his four kids want to re-gain rights to the characters. I also did not know that the creator and his/her family could be so involved and still be able to re-gain rights from major companies after they sold the character rights.
