          Eric Broder, managing editor at 
the Cleveland Free Times, which 
turns 10 this week, remembers a 
time when the paper could hardly fill ad 
space. "The issue is 24 pages, 
consisting mainly of editorial. You don't 
want that. You want ads in there, and 
plenty of 'em. But this was the first issue. 
It's tough enough to sell ad space for a 
publication, and tougher yet for one that 
doesn't exist." Broder reflects on the last 
decade of a paper that was one 
business deal away from never 
happening.
