US Sky and Telescope March 2009?

Does anyone have access to the latest US Sky and Telescope?

A year ago Sue French said she'd use part of an obs report in her Targets article... I was wondering if it made it or not

"M67 - open cluster in Cancer. Mrs. Goober and I then viewed M67. So easy to bag these from dark skies with the Pocket Sky Atlas. You can virtually see every star plotted with the naked eye - position the scope and boom! You've got it. Nice, rounded cluster with around 20 stars resolved at low power, and one orange member very evident. Mrs. Goober said it resembled Pacman, and I could see it once she'd said it. A concave shape to the cluster, as if it's gobbling stars ahead of it."
