R-7 articles in BIS's Spaceflight Magazine

Back when I was a BIS member, in the late-80s to late-90s, Spaceflight
had a series of articles on the development of the R-7. Can anyone
tell me what issues the articles were in? I was hoping BIS would have
an index online, but they sell a CD index instead.

Thanks!

lunar probes
Spaceflight Feb 1996
photo of production R-7 launch; Block E

Soviet rocketry that conquered space, part 4
Spaceflight Jan 1998
four-stage planetary A-booster variant (Molniya?)

Soviet rocketry that conquered space, part 5
Spaceflight March 1998
first Soviet planetary probe attempts

Soviet rocketry that conquered space, part 6
Spaceflight May 1998
improved 4-stage A boosters

Soviet rocketry that conquered space, part 7

Yup: http://www.astronautix.com/lvs/mola8k78.htm
Sort of a Luna/Vostok booster with a Soyuz upper stage stuck in between
the Semyorka and the old upper stage.
