ADS words of the year in today's NYT

[Martin, Katherine]

Today's NYT has a feature by Ben Schott entitled Five Years of
Consequence
(http://www.nytimes.com/packages/pdf/opinion/20060907schott02.pdf),
which tracks various statistics, trends, and Zeitgeist indicators from
the 5 years since 9/11. Among pieces of trivia such as George Bush's
annual weight and blood pressure and Pulitzer-prize winning novels are
the ADS words of the year. Right above "New York Times use of 'irony'
and 'ironic'".
