If you want to stick it to The Man^H^H^HTimes, go to http://news.google.com 
and search for it. Say you want to read the article titled "Spanish Officials 
Search for 6 to 8 New Bombing Suspects" - the search "nytimes 'spanish 
officials' " worked for me.

Actually, the way it currently works, the URL for that story that you get from 
NYTimes itself is:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/16/international/middleeast/16CND-TERR.html?hp

Whereas the Google link is:
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/03/16/international/middleeast/16CND-TERR.html

As is obvious, the only difference is the "?hp" and the referrer. If you could 
hack your browser to pretend all NYTimes URLs were referred by Google, you 
might be able to do away with the searching bit.
