You can find it on Kieron Killen's (the author of the article) blog at
http://gillen.cream.org/wordpress_html/?page_id=618. It's a PDF of the
original article, and very interesting to read. It provides a lot of
background to the story of The Cradle, takes you step-by-step through The
Cradle, and features an interview with the mind behind the masterpiece,
Jordan Thomas, alias 'null'. It also includes maps of the level. All in
all, it's a very thorough and well-written, interesting article.
It clocks in at 6 megs, and is 10 pages long. Go get it, kids. ;)

In a few years time we'll have people in mad houses whispering "I've been to
the cradle...have you?"

I've only ever played through the Cradle once and that was quite a while ago
but merely reading that article was enough to make me feel uneasy!

That was my favorite mission.
Managed to ghost all but the exit area.
Now, I go in hunting. I'll sit and wait, I don't care; bombs, mines, holy
water, dagger, fire arrows...C'mon if you think you're not dead enough...
And even that is risky. I've seen a patient run *around* a carefully placed
holy water puddle.
And , oh joy, I've just finished Grand Hotel in TX2 and the next level is
set in an ancient , run-down, gloomy hospital... 'sob'
