    Here are some more URL's.  Thanks to everyone who contributed.
    
    Recently some people have gotten permission errors from URL's I've
    sent out here, particularly for sites from scholarly publications.
    The problem is that those sites transparently check whether the user
    is coming from a site that has a site license.  UCLA has some site
    licenses (though not at as many as I'd like), and in those cases I
    breeze through where others get stopped.  Sometimes, as in the case
    of Science magazine, the resulting page clearly indicates that the
    site knows where I came from.  Usually, however, there are no clues.
    I could go to the lengths of testing the URL's on a public machine,
    but I don't have time.  So all I can really do is apologize.  But do
    let me know when it happens, so I can be aware of the particular site
    in the future.
    
    As a separate issue, I do include URL's from sites that require free
    registration, like as the New York Times or Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
    You'll just have to decide for yourself whether you want to register.
