This is a remarkable story following six people through the tsunami. I am not a fan of the NYT (in general)...but Barry Bearak is a stunning reporter.

I won't register with the NY Times. You have a login and password I can borrow?

[paulat]

I think the website bugmenot.com can give you a password...at least, that's what I've heard.

I tried 6 of their login/password combinations for the new times but none of them worked

Not being a computer geek, I'm not sure how this works. But, when I use Firefox with the "No Script" extension to block the site's Java, I can view articles on some "Registration Required" sites, including NYT.

I can't help you if you won't register to the NYT...

One suggestion I got was to register to your junk mail account (free from hotmail, etc.) and lie about the demographics.

EVERYONE should have a junk email account, IMHO.

[George from New England]

I used bugmenot for the last year and my firefox browser has the login already cached.

It's a breeze. I only registered with the dummy info sometime in the past year.

[Citizen Tom Paine]

Being an old oceanographer, I am interested in the article, but I am not going to register with the NYT to read it - period. Knowing the source, it probably has many factual errors.

The reporter is not on the staff of the NYT. That's why I recommended it.

[cubreporter]

Wow.

[agrarianlady]

When I right-clicked and clicked on "open in new window" it worked.

[agrarianlady]

right-clicked on the link, that is.

[paulat]

Thanks for the hint: Right click on link and select "Open in New Window."

Hope this works for all.

The NYT is (gasp) outsourcing?!

That's why I recommended it.

And is definitely a good reason to read it :)

CORRECTION - I WAS WRONG:

Barry Bearak is a reporter for The Times and a visiting professor at the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism.

It's still a well-written, riveting read.

I'll pass :)

[Dust in the Wind]

Its been working for me. I'm up to part 3.

[paulat]

I'll pass :)

Your loss...it is a wonderfully told story.

[mewzilla]

Actually, it's the paper's and its advertisers' loss.

Not mine :)
