From a previous message:"Proving it one way or the other at this date would be difficult." Actually that is EASY prove in the direction of one thing HAVING NOTHING to do with another thing! From Wikipedia: The New York Times is an American daily newspaper, founded and continuously published in New York City since September 18, 1851, by The New York Times Company. -- This PRE-DATES THE CIVIL WAR! The New York Times has long been regarded within the industry as a national "newspaper of record".[12] It has been owned by the Ochs-Sulzberger family since 1896; Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., the publisher of the Times and the chairman of the New York Times Company, is the fourth generation of the family to helm the paper. -- 1896 is well AFTER the Civil War! The original Times Square local station was built as a part of the original IRT subway, and opened in 1904. -- The expanded Times Square local/express station opened in 1917. Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. (born September 22, 1951) is an American journalist.[1] Sulzberger became the Publisher of The New York Times in 1992, and Chairman of the Board of The New York Times Company in 1997, succeeding his father, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger.[2] Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. was born in Mount Kisco, New York, the son of Barbara Winslow (née Grant) and Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger Sr., the grandson of Arthur Hays Sulzberger, and the great-grandson Adolph Ochs. -- So where is the "Southern Heritage"? Arthur Ochs "Punch" Sulzberger Sr. (February 5, 1926 – September 29, 2012) was an American publisher and a businessman. (The DAD!) Born into a prominent media and publishing family, Sulzberger became Publisher of The New York Times and Chairman of the Board of The New York Times Company in 1963. Sulzberger relinquished to his son, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., the Office of Publisher in 1992, and Chairman of the Board in 1997. Born February 5, 1926 - New York City, New York Died September 29, 2012 (aged 86) - Southampton, New York -- So where is the "Southern Heritage"? Adolph Simon Ochs (March 12, 1858 – April 8, 1935) was an American newspaper publisher and former owner of The New York Times and The Chattanooga Times (now the Chattanooga Times Free Press). Ochs was born to a Jewish family in Cincinnati, Ohio, on March 12, 1858. His parents, Julius Ochs and Bertha Levy, were both German immigrants. His father had left Bavaria for the United States in 1846.[1] Julius was a highly educated man and fluent in six languages that he taught at schools throughout the South, though he supported the Union during the Civil War.[2] -- Question - So why would a man who supported the Union during the Civil War influence a "Confederate" subway station tile design at the age of 59? -- Some things do not take a great deal of research to refute!
