I'm not against longer articles but the first paragraph should do a better job of letting you know where the story is going to help you know if you're going to be interested in it. Some subheadings (there's none) would help you know where you are in the story and let you skip to the part you're interested in.

I mean, the primary audience for these pieces are magazine subscribers, not people scanning the page coming in from link aggregators. Your suggestions might improve the experience for skimmers, but not necessarily for people who want to just read an interesting article.
