"The icy slap of reality hit me two weeks after New Year's Day in January 2005. I walked out of the Times's Washington bureau, two blocks north of the White House, and crossed Farragut Square to my bank. I had a bad feeling about what the ATM would reveal about my balance, but I was shocked when I looked at the receipt: $196. For practical purposes, we were broke."
