Folks,
if you use Firefox (a far superior browser to Chrome IMO) you can get
around almost all paywalls. When you seen a link, such as the one from The
Atlantic just posted below, in Firefox, "save as a pocket". Give it a name.
Go the pocket page and then open it up. The Washington post on occasion has
given me problems. Firefox takes a quick shot of the page before the
paywall popup window opens and prevents you from reading what is there.
This method simply eliminates the popup window.

Thanks for the tip, David. But if you *do* have access to Atlantic or 
any other paywalled magazine or newspaper, please send the entire 
article as I do customarily with the NYT or Washington Post. I don't do 
this with leftist magazines since they generally don't rely on advertising.
