I love this list.  I already have an answer.  Yes, there was a number 5
(mid- April).  It was a special "Auxiliary Equipment with Buyers' Guide"
issue.  I also got a response from Modern Plastics through my vendor and
the issue is no longer available, for those who are looking.  Many thanks
to those who responded.  It gets one more thing off my desk.

In response to Susan Andrews:
There was a numbering problem with this title in 1997.
Vol. 74, no. 4 (April 1997) was OK.
Vol. 74, no. 5 (May 1997) was misnumbered as vol. 74, no. 6;
Vol. 74, no. 6 (June 1997) was misnumbered as vol. 74, no. 7;
Vol. 74, no. 7 (July 1997) was misnumbered as vol. 74, no. 8;
It looks like it finally straightened out until vol. 74, no. 13 (Dec. =
1997) which was misnumbered as vol. 74, no. 14. =20

I believe it was a misnumbering by the publisher.  We never got a #5.
