+1 for Fred Gruenberger, and the old Scientific American.

Our university library had a subscription to Scientific American and lots of issues then. That's one of the few articles I still have a copy of. I hope they still have them. It might be cheaper to go there and scan the articles I am interested in than paying SciAm $7,99 each :-)
