Bob,

   I would have added that to the list, but when I clicked the link, I
was asked for a password. Some online journals, like the New York Times,
make you register, and you get their content for free after that. This
one seemed to want money.

   Since all of these titles are in the safe public domain, I've started
to toy with the notion of choosing some of the more obscure articles and
digitizing them myself. Since we already have started an online library
of Connecticut history book titles, it falls easily within our existing
frame of work. The hardest part would be getting copies of the original
journals, but that could be done by asking the right sources.

   This would probably take years to do, but the end result would be
worth having. I've got a pretty good idea of how Twain would have
treated boorish cell phone abusers.
