Howdy Ppl,

If you have seen the General relativity primer by Richard H. Price, published in American Journal of Physics, Vol. 50, p.300, at the top you will see it says:

Editor's Note:
This review article, the second in the series, is made possible by a grant from the National Science Foundation.

Its an awesome article to learn from and the above comment suggests that there are others of the kind :DDD If you know of any such article in AJP, or can find one, please post the link here. Thanks.
