For any NYT article, you can remove the part of the URL after the "?" and that should show the story to you.
I think you can see it if you are referred via social media, so . . . tweet it and click the link, or search for the title on twitter and click the link.
(I could post a link to my own tweet of the story, but I feel it would come off as more self-serving than altruistic.)
I've been refreshing and stopping the page load before the paywall loads. It works well, for now :)
