Thanks. But, I just spent 10 minutes trying to find this (and failing).... The MAA site says: "The contents of current and past issues of Math Horizons (1993 to present) can be browsed on JSTOR (login not required). - See more at: http://www.maa.org/publications/periodicals/math-horizons#sthash.oR6W1r63.dpuf"; The newest issue there is: http://pubexchange.jstor.org/stable/10.4169/mathhorizons.21.issue-2 But it seems to not have the issue you mentioned.
