hmmm - so even though i provided the article, fully credited and  
intact, it's uncool?  that's sort of odd, i think, especially since  
they provide an "email this article" feature...but i agree, better  
safe than sorry, for list moms!

the main reason i posted it was because i knew most of our members  
wouldn't be able to figure out how to view it otherwise, because NYT  
requires a basic sign-in to occur.
