It looks like the New York Times is making the first small steps in the
transition to an "online" publication.
I tried to access Maureen Dowd's OpEd piece defending Joe Biden on the
New York Times website and got the following:

This One’s for You, Joe - By MAUREEN DOWD Published: February 7, 2007I
feel compelled, now that Joe Biden has slipped on yet another
presidential banana peel, to lend him a hand.To continue reading this
article, you must be a subscriber to TimesSelect.

Huh? Apparently, I'd have to sign up AND PAY for a New York Times web
subscription to read her columns (as if that was going to happen).

The last columnist in the world I would PAY to read is Maureen Dowd.
She's a cross between Jonathon Alter and Norma Desmond.
