I found the following - by no means exhaustive - collection of periodical citations in my local library a few days ago. I'm passing them on to this newsgroup, though the articles are obviously NOT of a very technical nature. Note, however, that the Science News citation below is of an article written by the same I. Amato who wrote the recent "Trekking in the Molecular Forest" in the same weekly (the one whose text I have sent today as a separate piece. Russell E.
