Times Non-Select

This has always been a non-issue for me since I subscribe to the dead-trees edition, but for better or for worse most of the Times website is going to be free again. Actually, although we tend to think of the op-ed columnists, the really good news for non-subscribers and bloggers (and teachers) is that the post-1986 archives and the public domain archives are also going free -- not only a valuable source of information, but I presume fewer dead links.
