I have registered w/ NYtimes, but don't have a premium account so couldn't
get in there w/o giving them a credit card # (though that requires https:
first time, I assume it doesn't later).

perhaps you could do a View Source on that page on your desktop -- and email
it to me and I'll see if there's JavaScript, or malformed HTML, or something
else that's giving Newt's Cape problems.
