Digital Subscriptions and Premium Products - The New York Times

I read the print subscripton to NY Times every morning.  Its global and American news coverage are outstanding, making it probably the best newspaper in the US.  I am reluctant to post too many of these stories from the worldwide Times digital subscription (free to print subscribers like me) though because there is a paywall which allows only restricted public access.  This post explains the Times online system and the various digital subscription options.  See if you can afford any of them.

I will for now post some NYTimes stories.  If you cannot access them, I would appreciate knowing how often that occurs so that I may figure out the best possible future posting policy.  Reply to me via email or chat (latter on Gmail or Facebook).
