Larry/Linda: In case you missed this request, here it is again.

I've looked at the table of contents for the first issue of SRAM and the
list of members of the Council for Scientific Medicine (see
http://www.hcrc.org/sram/index.html and
http://www.hcrc.org/sram/contents.html), but I haven't found a list of
editorial board members. The three listed editors are Paul Kurtz, Wallace
Sampson, and Lewis Vaughn. The authors of articles in the first issue are
Wallace Sampson, Mahlon Wagner, Bela Scheiber, George Ulett, Saul Green,
Victor Stenger, John Renner.

Which article by which of these authors contains plagiarism, and from what
source(s)? If you're going to make such a charge, you should certainly
back it up.

I second the request--further, what was the source being plagiarized from,
so we can examine this for ourselves. Has a side-by-side comparison been
put together by anyone, along the lines of
http://www.primenet.com/~lippard/Bakerreport.txt? (This case involved
someone still on the _Skeptical Inquirer_ editorial board.)
