As far as i know only two libraries in teh Netherlands have copies of this journal and they are in an other part of the country! So could you be more specific about Mr. Berliner critism. AND: in some old posting to CCC a few months ago i think somebody mentioned that he was going to de some rechearch into Botwinniks ideas. Maybe this person could tell something more about implementing Botwinniks ideas! Thanks in advance JAn Willem
