If you use h to go down the page by headings, it will say a heading called
what's new, and the link directly underneath it was to the New York Times
article.  It's probably seven headings down.  Now I went and checked on it to
be sure, and they've changed it.  Darn them!  It was there yesterday.  LOL

I don't know.
I did not find a What's New link when searching for it on the NFB home page,
while using the Link Search in JAWS.
And that home page has a ton of stuff to go through.
My patience maybe is a bit short. I am sure it was there if you said it was!
Ha ha.

Please take no offense, Joy.
I really was glad to know about the letters to the editor.
