The “Unforgiving Economy” Web site and calendar did not involve the reporting or editing staff of The New York Times.

 

This website is dedicated to the memory of

Joe Margolis who worked at the La Guardia and Wagner Archives. Joe played an integral behind the scenes role in the creation of the CUNY/New York Times in College calendars. His talents will be sorely missed, along with his intelligence, charm and humor.
