Or "the newspapers", if you can find the article. Then you'll at least have the people's names. 2) If hypercharge is really important to you (your neutron accelerator functions, or your car won't go into the garage :-) then telegram the researcher and exchange results. 3) Wait 6-12 months for other publications with longer lead time to pick up the story and do a citation or author search at your library. (It's easy..just like using a big index) 4) Come back to the net and let us know the net helped cause yet another breakthrough :-) "Lord, it's hard to be humble when you grew up in a library." -- Scot E.
