Jeff Roth, the last remaining clip filer in The New York Times's "morgue." Stephen Hiltner/The New York Times Hello Insiders, Did you know that The Times has its very own morgue? If that sounds too creepy to believe, fear not: There aren't any dead bodies there. Our morgue is far more lively — a massive storage house three levels below ground, chock full of old photos, prints, slides, obituaries and dips. In one visit down there, I actually found an announcement of my own parents' engagement buried deep among index cards. The master of the morgue is Jeff Roth (see him in the photo above), and you can take a trip down there with him in this marvelous story by Insider's Stephen Hiltner. Read! (By the way, we'll be doing real life tours of the morgue in the coming months so keep checking this email for dates!) A little further afield, and straight out of the department of stranger things, our correspondent Motoko Rich writes of her experience straddling the demarcation line between North and South Korea. "I couldn't resist taking a photo of my sneakered feet on the North side of the room," she writes. The visit ended most bizarrely and unexpectedly with ... selfies. It's true! Read!

We're sorry to see that go, but we hope you'll agree that "The Daily" makes for a good replacement. Comments? Email us at timesinsider@nytimes.com. What to Read Now EFTA00695910 Copy Edit This!
