There's a "Download PDF" button. Holy cow, my respect for Harper's, and perception of them as a serious publication, just skyrocketed.

Are any other online publishers doing that? It's not even that I'm going to print it out or anything, but clearly it shows that their priority is readership, not ad conversions.

The regular web version cuts off after hundreds of words with a "click here to subscribe to continue reading" wrapper, but the PDF has the complete article. Bizarre.

If you click on that popup though, it displays the rest of the article without forcing a subscription. Much better than the New York Times in my opinion.

Really? I have always thought of Harper's as first among equals in the respectable, serious-journalism cohort. I think it's the best grown-up publication available in America today.

Oh, I didn't mean that I thought they were lousy before, but now my perception is overwhelmingly positive.

clicking the "Reader" button on safari, located to the right of the URL bar gives a similar view.
