But this does not explain why EBSCO has the title ahead of ProQuest,
unless you mean that the embargoes are different for different
database vendors.  Are they?  Is this an individual contract issue
between, say, Newsweek and UMI, rather than a blanket policy of
Newsweek?

Thanks for the information!
