Evan, I bow to your superior web-surfing ability.

I think I will call you an employee of a global news organization, or EGNO for short. This will replace DNA- in all future usage.

The article was posted for quite some time.

To cement my distaste for consipracy weenies, I checked out Dow Jones’ news archive, and the excerpt’s not in there. My guess is that’s because Time Inc. didn’t have permission to store it.

Nah, I think this guy’s been had, my guess is it was never on there. If you look at the URLs for the other content in that issue, the pattern of the names is different. Viz. http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101980302-138657,00.html and http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1101980302-138656,00.html link to the first two articles in that table of contents, and http://www.time.com/time/magazine/1998/dom/980302/special_report.clintons_29.html, the supposed book excerpt, doesn’t fit the pattern.

I think “Jim Warren” sees a conspiracy where there is none, or he just made it up.

Call me a skeptic–or an employee of a global news organization–but I’m inclined to trust Time Inc. before memoryhole.com.

The question is why would they stop running it online? it’s been there for years, and was only recently taken down.

No one’s saying there’s anything contractually foul here, but the ethics in use seem dubious. Suspect, even.

There’s no cover up, this guy’s a moron. Standard excerpt contracts allow for one-time use of the material–Evan’s right. Also, it’s not Time’s content, so why would they pay to run it online?
