Fair Use? NYTimes.com article quoted 99.44%

Here's a question for the journalism students in the crowd: Is today's blog entry over at cac.ophony.org (Cyberclass in Second Life is ultimate in distance learning) fair play?

In it, the blog-author quotes (just about) an entire NYTimes.com article. There's a word or two missing ("Isaac Greenbaum, a continuing education student at , remembers the day last semester when his media studies class was settling into a discussion of its next group project." Note the missing "NYU" after the comma.), but it's otherwise content-identical. Even the internal NYTimes.com links are included.

So, you tell me - fair use/play, or not so much?
