But the font looks smaller and tighter...reads like an old NYtimes. Is there some way to enlarge? Seems different to me from last week.

you can often adjust the "magnification" (zoom in or out) of the content in browser's window. And once you do that and forget, it might stay like that for any other windows or tabs that you have open.

Browsers can usually be setup to use the website's default and/or will use some default font style but allow you to select a different one.
