Yes, indeed.  The address is www.nature.com.  You must register your name
and a password.  I tried many passwords, and failed to get through every
time until I entered a password which included both letters and numbers so
as to avoid duplicating someone else's password.  This is the site for
_Nature_ magazine.  The registration is free, with no strings attached. 
You will get a brief summary of some of the _Nature_ articles at the site,
and, more to the point, you can view the cover of the March 26 issue, which
shows the slab of rock containing the diminutive _Scipionyx samniticus_ in
all its glory, and what a prize specimen it is!   For the highest quality
image, of course, we'll all have to rush out and buy the magazine.

Now it's my turn to ask a few questions.  What  are the dimensions of the
depicted fossil slab?  What is the projected length of the animal?  How do
we pronounce its name?
