Photograph by WCBS 880's Evan Bindelglass On some news stands now: Less of the Post's angry demands (like today's)! WCBS 880 took this photograph of a smaller NY Post, noting it's miniature size, 11" wide by 12" tall, versus its standard size of 11.25" wide by 13.75" tall.

Dare we say it's beary suspicious that the Daily News, NY Times and Newsday each offer at least a mention of Rudy Giuliani on their front pages (the News and Newsday tackle Rudy's Travelgate, while the Times just looks at how Rudy uses statistics misleadingly) - while the Post decides to go with the Mohammed Bear story? Sure, the teddy bear is way cuter than Giuliani, but accusations about trips to see a mistress......
