[edit] New York Times's?
Is it "the New York Times's right" because New York Times is a singular entity, or is it "New York Times' rights" because, if not a company, "New York Times" is plural? It looks weird to me. --MDonoughe 04:14, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
Depends on which convention you're using. It is not plural in common usage; one says "The New York Times is the paper of record," not *"The New York Times are the paper of record (papers of record?)." In cases like these, one can use the apostrophe alone or the apostrophe with an S; which one you choose depends on which grammar fascist taught you English. The truth is that it's fine either way.
[edit] Watergate Box
Someone might want to figure out how to align the watergate box so it doesn't float next to the case infobox. Since this page is about a supreme court case, I think the infobox for it should be on top with the watergate box beneath it, but I don't know how to set it like that. -- Johnny06man 15:28, 25 July 2006 (UTC)
