Drat. It's probably one of those sites that only makes the most recent couple of issues available for free and/or changes the URL when it archives an old article. :-(
But this trick -- showing the banner and navigation and border cruft and no article, instead of a 404 page -- is one I hadn't seen before.
A little exploring reveals that "premium members" of the site get access to a whopping 30 days worth of archives. WTF? I'm going to have to either start avoiding such ephemeral sites or remember to make local copies. *sigh*

I'm reminded of the main character's musing on the patchy state of the early information on the net in... Architects of Emortality, I think.
