R-help is fine.
Thanks a lot, Ajay, for the pointer!
At the bottom of the page it says
__ A version of this article appeared in print on January 7, 2009,
__ on page B6 of the New York edition.
Now if any the NYT (print version) subscribers on R-help are
willing to fulfill a New Year's wish for me,
I'd be very grateful for a (digital scan) copy of that page.
