The nytimes.com Site Needs Some Color

You’d think that with all the resources of the New York Times, someone there would have realized that if they defined their background as white, they should also have defined their text color. Otherwise, users could get only part of the story…

The Link
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/15/us/15bigfoot.html and many, many other pages.
The Problem
They forgot to define their text color. I decided to change my default color to white for this one (still able to be overridden, though).
The Fix
Adding color: #000; to the body selector.
