In Tuesday's paper, there weren't a lot of "big" stories but there were some interesting ones. On the front page, there was an article about how Itunes just made the big announcement that they acquired the rights to the Beatles catalog and will begin selling them on Wednesday. Itunes had been trying to get the rights to this catalog for a couple years now since its is the most well-known and largest collection to have. With this new announcement, Itunes will see their revenue increase a great deal as many people will buy these albums and songs. I wouldn't be surprised if these Beatles albums and songs dominated the Itunes charts for the next couple of weeks, nevermind the next couple of months.
The next interesting article pertained to the controversial new drink Four Loko, which can't seem to make its way out of news headlines for the past couple of weeks. With all of the dangers that have been presented recently and the number of college students ending up in hospitals has caught the F.D.A's attention and now are expected to do something about it. As more and more states are banning the drink, who knows how much longer this drink will be around. The funny thing is though, that way before Four Loko came along, Vodka Red Bulls have been a very popular drink among college students; yet, nothing has ever been done about those. People are always going to mix caffeine and alcohol whether or not this drink is banned or not. The F.D.A thinks that they are going to fix the problem but there are always ways around it.
In the Sports Section, there was a very small article about how the Yankees will be raising prices for seats next season. After building their brand new stadium, the Yankees were criticized for their already high prices and now are going to increase those. In this economy, only rich New Yorkers will be able to attend Yankee games instead of the American family. America's past time is now becoming available for only the rich man in New York now, well unless you want to see the Mets.
