that's about what you pay for the WSJ online, isn't it?

but this bit seems like a ripoff -- no archival access beyond the last seven days? that sux. one of the reasons it annoys the shit out of me for people to post links to NYT articles, rather than the text is the links are worthless unless you read the list every day and can pull up the article the same day it's published, or are interested in paying the NYT (i'm not).
i pay about $58/yr for the NYRB on paper and am about to send them another $20 to get access to all, rather than just some of their archives online.
most of the papers seem to be following this pay for the archives model, with the notable exception of WSJ. with WSJ, what kind of archival access do you get?
