For those unfamiliar with the Times PNI, it was until about 2000 the gold standard in researching the Times, an alphabetized collation of all the personal names shown in the yearly/half-yearly/quarterly Times indices themselves.  So you didn't have to check "Rosario Candela" in every volume of the index.

 

They are still useful to the very, very dedicated researcher, since about 15% of the cites they recover do not show up in the ProQuest digitization.
