For instance, the subtitle of the article says:
The Villages "has more than 100,000 inhabitants, and only old.
A trip to Florida - in a city full of golf, sex and life. And without Cemetery
It goes downhill from there.....

I did get that from my limited German as well. I can only understand maybe 3 in 5 words and that includes contextual guessing.
I have two years of college German and a Course in Reading German for Graduate Students. The latter was taken at the U of MN where they had many such language courses. You do have to use it or lose it unless you are a native speaker or some gift for languages.
The link is probably all you can do because of international copyright laws. You can give an abstract of the article in English though.
