Be nice if there was a website that we could go to for the report in Nature and the other February report. The 'Nature' artical is not available on Nature's website even with a search. 'Nature' maintains three classes of availability for it's information, however, and this particular bit of info just might have shown up had I been not a third class [free] reader, but a second or 'first' class paying reader......with the NYT style registration of 'cos. More of the database model of news reporting. I wonder if there is a free Russian version of this. Standing Bear
