historical reasons. I still have the ones going back to "Nixon Resigns, Ford Succeeds" in my footlocker from when I was 12. The print must be a 3" font size. It's sort of like the end of WW2. I also saved the copies of TIME that my neighbor gave me, like I said, I can't afford subscriptions but even if I could I would NOT subscribe to any of them now. I have the ones from 2016 and 2020 saved. I don't know why I do it since I no longer teach school and I don't have kids that would appreciate the historical significance.
