The links only exist on the US version of the site.  Their webserver 
correctly identified me as a UK browser and served me up a UK version of 
the site which doesn't have those links.  Changing my location 
preferences on their site to US gets me the US site and the relevant links.

Not tricky, but certainly unintuitive.
