Linking to Specific Paragraph and Sentence in New York Times

Check this link- it takes you straight to the quoted para-

WikiLeaks Archive - U.S. and Pakistan, Ever Wary - NYTimes.com

"It may be the most unnerving evidence of the complex relationship — sometimes cooperative, often confrontational, always wary — between America and Pakistan nearly 10 years into the American-led war in Afghanistan. The cables, obtained by WikiLeaks and made available to a number of news organizations, make it clear that underneath public reassurances lie deep clashes over strategic goals on issues like Pakistan’s support for the Afghan Taliban and tolerance of Al Qaeda, and Washington’s warmer relations with India, Pakistan’s archenemy."

While reading the New York Times, and when you want to quote any particular para, click the shift key twice. Little marks appear left of the start of every para. click one of those marks- you get the url of the quoted para in your address bar!

There is another cute way of linking to NYT- click this link, and you will see the emphasised sentence highlighted in colour-


The h7s2 sort of command does the trick.

Adding the hashtag at the end of the url, followed by para number and sentence number links to the relevant quote.

Substituting h for p (page number) highlights the quoted sentence.

Thank you, NYT., you are my favourite magazine.
