Good! That will save me some time when I follow links to the NYT from
other sites. I end up reading 3 or 4 paragraphs and wondering what in
the world I'm reading. I then look at the url, see nytimes and close
the tab. Life is too short to read the endless drivel that passes for
a news story at the NYT. I want to know *what* happpened, not how I'm
supposed to think about what happened, if I can even find *what
happened* among the NYT's "analysis".
