Herb,

The TeX distribution preference pane say TeXLive-2011 Intel 64. It's the only distribution I have; I deleted the old ones when MacTeX 2011 came out. 

Here's what the console displays when I try to typeset: !LaTeX error: File 'article.cls' not found.

The text file I'm trying to typeset is one that I have been working on for some time on my old MacBook Pro, where it typeset with no problem.

Here's what happens when I type the terminal commands you suggested.

Here's a sample text file extracted from the much longer original text file. The commands in the preamble are identical to the original's, and attempting to typeset it produces the same LatTeX error described previously in this note.
