It is nytimes trying to sneak past all popup blockers. They are using an image to fire the onload event that shows the popup and the popup is written in via document.writes. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but IIRC Mozilla only blocks window.open during the body onload and onunload, and it looks for window.open's.
