What HTTP headers are being returned to Lynx? Given the nature of the page, I would imagine that The New Yorker would want to set very short cache expiries, or stop caching entirely.

Looking at the response that Firefox gets, it has cache-control=no-cache, but no modification date or entity tag. The cache-control means the browser is expected to revalidate the page, but the lack of the other two seem to rule out a conditional fetch, so it probably does have to fetch the whole page.

However, I don't know how Lynx handles this.
