Thanks for that tip George.  I gave it a whirl but when I tried to open up the 
abstracts for the pre-1963 papers, I get an "invalid request" message.

But here's the real catch: those PDF downloads that are available, cost $25.  
I suppose if you only want to see one paper, you can spring for the cost. But 
there are about two or three dozen papers from earlier eras that I would love 
to see but simply cannot afford to download (even if they were available) for 
25 bucks a pop.

Tough break really because, as I mentioned in my previous note, there have 
been a lot of very interesting papers published in ION that I would love to 
see.

Robert
