>Sure, but how many people subscribed to >2 papers?

My parents may have been more well off so this might not be representative, but it wasn't just papers; we also subscribed to several magazines. Growing up I remember we had:

* New York Times

* Wall Street Journal

* The Economist Magazine

* Time Magazine

* Nintendo Power

* Highlights for Children

I remember my Aunt subscribing to Vogue, Ebony and Reader's Digest, on top of the finance publications she and my dad were subscribed to. 30 years ago, Vice might have existed as a magazine, not a major publication.
