IMPORTANT: A "back door" to the NYT's op-eds exists

Yesterday, davidkc wrote a diary that provided "back door" links to New York Times columnists Paul Krugman and Bob Herbert.  Since davidkc's diary had only 21 comments and 10 recommends, I think it was grossly overlooked.  (In case you didn't know, the bean-counters over at the Times have come up with "a pay to read opinion columns scheme" called "TimesSelect" for 50 bucks a year.)  Working with davidkc's Krugman link, I was able to create a generic bookmark to the Times' op-ed page.  After linking, just click on--or enter--the date, then click on "See All Articles in EDITORIAL DESK" link.  To read the Times' colunmists, you will have to scroll to last few links in the listing  (Unfortunately, no author names are listed.  So, if you click on David Brooks' column, quickly avert your eyes.)  It takes a few clicks, but the access is FREE.

So, a tip of the hat to davidkc.  Did the beancounters at the Times really think that with millions of internet users that their "wall" couldn't be hacked?
