AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around locating a specific article believed to be a contribution to the 1973 Style Manual of the American Mathematical Society. It is noted that the current edition of the Style Manual is likely authored by different contributors, and the version containing Halmos's work may no longer be in print. There is a suggestion that older professors might still possess copies of the original manual. Additionally, participants express interest in finding similar articles that could be relevant to the topic.

I don't think it was a book, I think it was a contribution to the 1973 Style Manual of the American Mathematical Society.

I expect the current Style Manual is written by someone else, and that the edition with Halmos's work is out of print (but older professors may still have one! :wink:).
