How multi-packs work: A multi-pack is an archive
package that saves you money by allowing you to pre-purchase a set
number of articles in bulk at a reduced price. You can then debit
from your multi-pack and quickly access articles from the archive at
your convenience over the lifetime of the multi-pack.
Once you purchase an article, you may view it
as often as you like over the next 90 days. Archive articles do not
include photos, charts or graphics
