Just chiming in here -- our school also received this FOIA. We took a quick
look through our subscription databases and found that all of the articles
listed are from two sources. One is a New York Times Online posting (August
14, 2019). The other is New York Times Magazine (August 18, 2019). Here are
the page numbers: 6, 7, 14-22,, 24, 26, 28-38, 40, 42-93. We have access to
them via our ProQuest Central database.
I'm posting this in the hope that I can save at least a few people from
having to spend any more time than necessary on this request.
