TimesSelect ends at midnight, while it opens some of its archives

I know this sounds very dramatic, but this is what I found out via Jeff Jarvis at his collaborative journalism blog BuzzMachine.

With the political race accelerating and Hillary giving her plan for health insurance, it only seems right for the NY Times to open up their opinion columns.

And we have this other news:

In addition to opening the entire site to all readers, The Times will also make available its archives from 1987 to the present without charge, as well as those from 1851 to 1922, which are in the public domain. There will be charges for some material from the period 1923 to 1986, and some will be free.
