It's important at times to remind people that journal articles are more
available these days through JSTOR and other services and that in fact 
libraries are making
these services available to more and more people. If not locally, then 
regionally or through
state library services. For instance-- (where Kiri lives)
The State of Maryland now runs a service called
AskUsNow  http://askusnow.info/about/    where citizens of the state can 
ask for reference
help. Through this e mail service you could in fact ask about this 
article and ask about
getting a copy. They do in fact provide articles and their database 
carries this info:
"Please note that during your session the librarian may send you web 
pages and electronic documents from a variety of sources. These may 
include sources found in proprietary databases. All current database 
licenses apply. Please notice that material may be protected by 
copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code <http://www.copyright.gov/title17/>) 
and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) 
<http://www.copyright.gov/laws/>. Further reproduction may not be 
authorized. Responsibility for any possible copyright infringement lies 
solely with the user."

So do ask at your local public library or check out what services are 
available through your state libraries.
You may be pleasantly surprised to find that services such as JSTOR are 
already available.
