If they reduce it down to two columns, and roll it up around a central cardboard tube, they can create an entirely new consumption paradigm! This way, each day’s paper can be distributed for usage in a way consistent with the high quality standards of their content. Ahem.

I know your tongue is in your cheek, Dylan, but that would be a sad day. I do love the act of reading a *paper.* Guess I am now a dinosaur.

My prediction: after going from a six-column to a five-column format, the WSJ will eventually switch to 4 columns, then 3, then 2, then 1. By the time they eliminate the print version and go entirely online, the newspaper will be no bigger than an index card.
