I clicked this link and was redirect to the 'NPR Choice page'.

The options I had were:

  1. agree to some lenghty tracking and ad terms, or;  
  2. decline and visit the plain text site.

I'm happy with option 2, so I decline, but I'm redirect to the home page.

There's no way to visit this article by substituting 'www.' for 'text.' in the URL, instead you get:

    > NPR.org Text-Only (go to NPR.org graphical version)
    > We're sorry, the page you requested is unavailable. Please go to our Contact page for more information.

So if you had this problem too, see the archive.org version of this article below:
