I found a link to 
<http://links.jstor.org/sici?sici=0013-0117(198305)2%3A36%3A2%3C318%3ASCAEGI%3E2.0.CO%3B2-M>

I'm interested to note that <http://links.jstor.org/robots.txt> 
explicitly prohibits indexers from going into that area.  Assuming 
googlebot still observes robots.txt, it raises interesting questions of 
how and why it indexed that page.
