It’s good to see that there is still some redeeming social value to the New York Times. Lots of newspapers and lots of bloggers have written lots of words about Goran Suton after he was named the Midwest Regional’s Most Outstanding Player in leading the MSU Spartans to the Final Four. Many of them have told how his family came to Lansing from war-torn Bosnia. But none of them except the NYT snagged a photo of Goran and his brother playing basketball outside their home near Sarajevo, and none of them told how their grandfather chased errant balls for them so they wouldn’t be the ones to risk getting blown up by land mines.
