One way you can do this same thing, just simpler, is append "http://google.com/url?q= before the NYTimes URL. You still have to click through the Google XSRF prevention page, but it's a lot simpler and doesn't depend on the Googlebot having hit the page yet.
In Chrome a Google search is in the right-click menu after selecting the article title text. Four clicks and no typing beats URL hacking, and Googlebot is so fast these days that it's always seen the page before I got there, and it's always the first hit for the full article title (even without quotes).
