The Table of Contents is online at
http://www.americanscientist.org/Issues/TOC03/TOC03-03/contents.html .
If you click on the link for the article, you get what I presume is an
abstract and on the left are links to the figures in the article. Other
links include home pages for at least some of the authors.

If you click on the subscribe link at the top of the page, there are
options for subscribing online and for obtaining just one issue online.

Dear List,

Has anybody obtained this article, that is the second article, and what

I am after a copy here in the UK please, as it sounds as if I would find

Many thanks Alan

>explores the probability of a line (surname) dying out as well as the
>related probability of a family name (Smith, Jones, etc.) becoming
>extinct. The authors use early English royalty as a lead topic, but
>branch into applications of DNA analysis. The roles of spelling
