It has been that way since a few days after 9/11. To accomodate the new
section "A Nation Challenged" which is the B section (formerly the Metro
section), the Times has been printing the Metro and Sports section in
'tete-beche' style.

Karen,

This is a recent development with the NYT.  Shortly after the Sept. 11th
attacks, the Metro Section and the Sports Section have been combined in a
tete-beche fashion.   Since the printing presses can only accommodate 4
sections for the late edition, this arrangement was made to accommodate the
new section: The Nation Challenged.

I hope this answers your question.

I don't read the New York Times very often so I don't know if this is
normal practice or a printing error but ...

The Metro Section (D1-11) and Sports Thursday (S1-7) were together on
inverted pages yesterday (Nov. 15, 2001)!
