The New York Times announced Wednesday that it intended to charge frequent readers for access to its website, a step being debated across the industry that nearly every major newspaper has so far feared to take．
Starting in early 2011, visitors to NYTimes．com will get a certain number of articles free every month before being asked to pay a standard and fixed fee for unlimited access．Subscribers to the newspaper’s print edition will receive full access to the site．
But executives of The New York Times Company said they could not yet answer fundamental questions about the plan, like how much it would cost or what the limit would be on free reading．They stressed that the amount of free access could change with time, in response to economic conditions and reader demand．Still, publishers fear that money from digital subscriptions would not make up for the resulting loss of audience and advertising income．
NYTimes．com is by far the most popular newspaper site in the country, with more than 17 million readers a month in the United States, according to Nielsen Online, and analysts say it is the leader in advertising income, as well．That may make it better positioned than other general-interest papers to charge—and also gives The Times more to lose if the move produces an opposed result．
The Times Company has been studying the matter for almost a year, searching for common ground between pro-and-anti pay campaigns—a debate mirrored in dozens of media-watching blogs-- and the system will not go into effect until January 2011．Executives said they were not bothered by the possibility of absorbing barbs（挖苦） for moving cautiously．
“There’s no prize for getting it quick,” said Janet L．Robinson, the company’s president and chief executive．“There’s more of a prize for getting it right．”

Andy Tomas is proof of the typical case that life-changing disaster awaits the drunken driver．
“A lot of teachers say, ‘Don’t drink,’ but I’m not going to say that, because I know that students are going to do it,” Andy says．“I just say, ‘Don’t get in a car．’”
As an 18-year-old, he could be a classmate or a friend, and that familiarity adds to the power of his words．He has spoken to more than 2500 high school students so far, and he has noticed their unusual silence．
One year ago, Andy, having been with friends drinking, lost control of his car and was thrown into trees 20 feet away．He was found covered in blood, with many bones broken．He was diagnosed with a severe brain injury and remained in an unconscious state and on life support for nearly three weeks．His skull was opened to reduce pressure on his brain．
At Children’s Specialized Hospital in New Brunswick, Doctor Erin Leahy initially found Andy unable to move the right side of his body．But by the end of his six-week stay, he was able to walk out of the building．Leahy called that an inspiration and a surprise．
Yet Andy’s recovery is incomplete．Brain and muscular therapy（治疗） has helped him regain movement in his right arm, but he still struggles with right hand．
In the process of recovery, Andy has thought deeply about what happened and why, and decided to share his story．Encouraged by his doctor, he began to attending meetings, delivering speeches．
He said he was nervous at first, but has grown used to the spotlight．“I feel like I know how to talk to people．” He said．And his recovery and visible injury help him draw serious attention from students．
Drunk driving, he tells students, is like playing gambles．“You might do it a bunch of times, but something is going to happen．”
Now his days are all about the therapy, work and going to the gym．Mentally, he says, “ I’m a lot happier in my life．”
