There are "next page" and "prev page" links further down as well as a "1 | 2" link -- but -- those don't work either if you don't have javascript enabled.
I was really just trying to point out some mainstream coverage of what is probably familiar to most on the list--not to draw attention to the shortcomings of the site. There is a tinge of irony to reporting about "Keeping the Web Universal" on a site that *requires* Javascript.
While we're on the subject, I don't think this approach degrades gracefully without JS (somebody correct me if I'm wrong). To their defense, this is a rather dated design, going back several years...at least that's how long I remember reading it. It predates any significant Web standards movement, I think. The "Clippings" feature has always been a really nice way to save a quick list of what you want to read, in case you're interrupted or don't have time at the moment (which was nice prior to the days of RSS feeds). To me, that feature would still be consistent with a standards-based approach because it's a nice-to-have/nice-to-use. But the "this site requires javascript" (especially just to navigate an article) is a no-go, IMO.
