From Amy Sacks, here’s one more suggestion for getting NYT links to work: NYTimes links also work via Twitter... Search twitter for headline and follow link.

Add to what Holly already told us: Here's a hint you can pass on when people have trouble with NYT links: if you type the title of the article into google, the link from google will work.  For some reason, coming from google gets you past the New York Times  paywall every time.
