Now *that* is interesting. I tried emailing DL at his Cycorp address; I didn't get a response. Does your friend have an email address?

In answer to other questions:
No, I do not have the 1983 article.
Yes, you *would* think a major university would have a copy of those
journals, wouldn't you? But when I was briefly a student at one
university, they didn't have the journal _Artificial Intelligence_, at
all, never mind back issues. Actually, I would say that their whole AI
library was slightly inferior to the reference section of the local
public library, and was *considerably* inferior to Microcenter
Warehouse's book section. Who knew?
As for checking at other universities, most of them have rules to keep
the riffraff off campus, never mind out of the library.
