The New Yorker is a wonderful print magazine which posts some (all I think if you have a subscription) of its articles online, primarily for convenience. I think for many of its audience, the smattering of links that could accompany an article like this might truly take away from the intended atmosphere if you will the article and publication intends to provide.
Certainly for me I find it refreshing and I try to read their magazine as much as I can. I've learned plenty and can choose what I'd like to follow up on myself as opposed to through the guidance of the editor, author, or web designer who is creating the online edition. And the flow is never disrupted by text which indicates a link whether in the traditional blue with underline or otherwise.
We can all google, but to enjoy an article is a pleasure in its own right.
