Anyone have a copy of this?

I was doing a Google ego scan and ran across this reference to an apparent academic article, in a list of references for those studying Angels in America (which I still haven't seen):

Knabe, Susan. "Viral Migrations: Fairy Tales of Family and Nation, Death and Disease." Foundation: The International Review of Science Fiction, 31:86 (2002 Autumn), pp. 76-85.
compared to Geoff Ryman; Was; Peg Kerr; The Wild Swans

Am intrigued and would like to read the article. Anyone have this periodical in a stack in their bedroom by any chance? (Yeah, I could just go to the library . . .)

I'll be probably be in the minority with this, but I loved part I of _Angels in America_ and strongly disliked part II--both on stage and on screen, though the HBO version has some beautiful acting (it loses some of the consensual-surrealism of stage, but it probably can't be helped). I think it treats one of its characters badly in a non-justifiable way.

(I still have notes from watching it on HBO, and someday in my copious free time I shall write it up properly.)

Just curious

Which character? Personally, I didn't like how the Joe (the closeted Morman guy) just kind of disappeared. What was the rest of his story?

Joe it was. More detail is probably spoilers, alas.
