I've taken the story off the web until we can resolve what is happening ... I don't want to publish without permission and don't feel comfortable having something up and not knowing how much it costs. I will do an analyses of how many people looked at the story (though I can't tell you how many people made copies for others).

By the way, we're a very small, very under-funded non-profit corporation and would certainly appreciate any tolerance you folks might have for an honest mistake. We're very careful on copyright and one of our producers thought this one was safely out of copyright.
