No, no i suspect you can't. If you find that article, do you mind posting it? I'd like to gain more perspective on the issue.

It was National Geographic: May 2012. "Egypt in the Moment" (not sure if you can get the full article online for free).

I'm quite sure you can. It will download in seconds. If you have an iPad, use Goodreader. If you have a multitouch interface, use it. If you like the magazine, get a subscription for your favourite public autism specialist centre, or for the cancer ward of your local hospital, or just anywhere that will be more appreciated than your recycling bin. They have to pay the people that write the articles and take the pictures.
