Thanks to Mint, I noticed that a few visitors were referred here looking for the text of a New Yorker article writted in February 2004 titled, Underground Man: Can the former C.I.A. agent who saved New York�s subway get the Tube back on track?. I had scanned the text a while back, but my directory security settings on my server were tightened, and the scans were no longer available.
So, if you’re looking for the article, it’s is now properly linked in the orginal post.
I still wish I had a way of extracting the text via OCR…

Do you have higher quality images?
I ran the first one through gocr on my machine but it didn’t work so well…

Thanks, yea, I have them at home somewhere… I’ll dig ‘em up.
At work here I was looking for a free Windows app, and found Omniformat, which looks like it will do it… I guess I’ll test it out when I find the better scans.

If you use Fink on your Mac then you can install and try gocr and/or ocrad.
