Congrats to the Tulsa World staff.
I must admit I had a hard time with the TW when I moved to Oklahoma three years ago. Didn't like it.
But, it's kind of like coffee. At first you have a hard time with it then you find you need it every morning.
Now, reading the TW with a good cup of coffee is a perfect morning.
;)

Lorton for the Nobel Prize ! ! ! ! Without a doubt, the Tulsa World is the best daily newspaper in Tulsa, and in the top two of all newspapers in Tulsa, or at least the Urban area.
