I don't use New York Times links because they needlessly require you to register. That is a horrible precedent to set for a free service. Imagine if all news sites took that stance.

NYT articles, especially Reuters repeats, can often be found at Yahoo.

Funny, that: and I resent NYT articles not because they require you to register, but because they are free online. I wish they would charge! But no, they charge for old stuff, and not what's current.
