Has anyone else noticed that almost every NYtimes article ends in a quotation? I'm not a follower of other newspapers so much, but it seems to be a common trend. Is this a journalistic trick or letting the people have the last word?

I've noticed this in magazines as well. I think it gives the ending more punch. Who do you mean by "the people?" To me the choice of last quotation indicates the message the author wants to convey, even if s/he is supposedly an unbiased reporter.
