[Journal] Help on LaTex Syntax for Journal

[Micha Silver]

I apologize for drifting away from my Journal "chores" 
recently. I hope to have a bit more time soon (after mid Dec), 
and I'll try to take up some of the latex conversions.
I was concerned about two articles in the Case Studies that 
are about 3 year old. I'm reluctant to approach the authors 
now, after such a long delay, and ask that they update the 
article. But on the other hand publishing as is will mean 
presenting material that is quite out of data.
