This Reference Index  to "Montana The Magazine of Western History"  covers the years from 1951-2000.

The keyword search will find any instance of a word or portion of a word in the index. A search finds exact terms only, so it may be necessary to try variations. For example, the artist Russell can be found under "Russell, Charles Marion" but will not show up as "Russell, Charles M." or "Russell, C. M." This index is compiled from two separate volumes that have been combined, but the entries have not been consolidated. Thus, under many terms, you will find two entries: one from the 40-year index and one from the 10-year index. Unlike the printed indexes, the search is alphabetized in a word-by-word style.

The references show the index version [1951-1990], [1991-2000], [2001-2003], the keyword of the search highlighted, and the volume, issue, and page numbers. For example, 46(2)56 refers to volume 46 published in 1996, the Summer issue (2) and page 56. For more information on references, see the User Guide.

To obtain back issues of Montana The Magazine of Western History or bound copies of the 40-year and 10-year indexes, call 1-800-243-9900 or e-mail tryan@mt.gov.

Mental Floss

Mental_floss is an intelligent read, but not too intelligent. We're the sort of intelligent that you hang out with for a while, enjoy our company, laugh a little, smile a lot and then we part ways. Great times. And you only realize how much you learned from us after a little while. Like a couple days later when you're impressing your friends with all these intriguing facts and things you picked up from us, and they ask you how you know so much, and you think back on that great afternoon you spent with us and you smile.

And then you lie and say you read a lot.

Each issue of Mental Floss magazine is divided up into the following sections:

   * Features: Some examples of featured articles include an expose on Shel Silverstein's darker side and a collection of the 25 Most Important Questions in the Universe.

    *Right_brain: Contains articles about "right brain" topics, like art and literature. Some examples of right_brain articles have included The Thinker, James Joyce, and Ming vases.

    *Left_brain: Contains articles about "left brain" topics, like science and logic. Some examples of left_brain articles have included string theory, the Human Genome Project, and black holes.

    *Scatter_brained: Contains 10 pages of trivia, facts, and anecdotes from all different categories of knowledge.

   *Spinning the_globe Contains articles about religion, history, and world culture.

    *The Quiz Each issue contains a brief quiz in the back of the magazine.
