Kat, I see a 1993 article that is a letter from Jasna K to Cisneros in a couple of papers. But the online database I have for the IHT specifically begins in 1997.
You turn on any of my crew, you turn on me.

Quick math-type question. Faux-son is here doing algebra II stuff. He just asked if there is a way to calculate the sum of the first 50 multiples of 6 without...you know, calculating them by hand. He has a schmancy calculator that probably has this function, but I know not how to guide him.
Is there a formula?

There is one that selectively goes back to 1991 for the IHT, but it's not there.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Darn, I forgot about the street fair.

There is. He's calculating 6*1+6*2+...6*50, which is the same as 6*(1+2+3+...50). He probably has learned or been exposed to the formula for teh summary of sequential integers, I think it is (n*n+1)/2 and in this case n=50.

Damn! I can't find it and it is making me crazy. I tried the IHT archives. And I know from an interview with Cisneros that it ran in the NYT but their archives are giving me no love either. I can use Thompson Gale stuff at school, but cannot find it.
Which is sad because it's this utterly beautiful piece that I need for Wednesday. It would be around March 1993.
But thank you, sparky and Lee, for trying!

I can try the NYT too.

Kat, if the NYT databases don't have it (I tried Lexis) it's probably because it's electronic distribution wasn't covered by whatever agreement they'd made with Cisneros.
