The text beginning: A day shy of the second anniversary ....
only displays up to: ... wins seventh yellow jersey without winning ...
The portion after that to the end is covered with a big black area. 
However highlighting the text under the black area, allows one to read it up to
the end: ... which appears on his sponsor's t-shirts.

All of the problem text is in a <div id> ... </div> tag.

View source of the page works fine.

But this could be a Tech Evang issue.

This is probably tech evangelism. The content is all left or right floats, they
don't take up any room for the containing block. The only reason why it is at
least 880px, is because of the min-height:880px;
