            Perhaps it's worth noting that immediately following the EPR paper in
    Phys. Rev. is one by N. Bohr with exactly the same title ("Can Quantum
    Mechanical description of Reality be Considered Complete?") in which he answers
    the question oppositely to EPR.
            Copies of Phys. Rev. of this vintage are still easy to find in libraries
    but will become increasingly less so as libraries go to other means of storage &
    bound volumes are disposed of. Over 20 years ago I read that the issue of
    _Annalen der Physik_ in which Einstein's first special relativity paper was
    published were selling for ~$2000 - which, interestingly, was about the going
    price of a good copy of the first Superman comic book!

    Shalom,
