For the blog-safe / permanent link to that NY Times article, visit
<http://tinyurl.com/2m4wcx>, or produce a link yourself at The NY
Times link generator: <http://nytimes.blogspace.com/genlink>.  I'd be
worried about telling too many people about the link generator, but if
the NY Times kills it, they'll just have made themselves that much
more irrelevant to the internet and I hope they're smart enough not to
do that.
