[OS X TeX] Chicago Manual of Style

	I am eminently familiar with the vagaries of Chicago, as my field is  
pretty much a Chicago field.

	McBride is pretty good, but it's not fabulous on URLs or DOIs. I have  
a modified/home-cooked version of mcbride.bst (which has some other  
slight departures from CMS 15) that I can post if people would like.

Best,
-Nathan
