The Cross reference is located at:

I'm relieved and glad to see that the Lorentz force law is alive and well,
at least, in the eyes of some who are current in the relevant physics.
I've been away from graduate level EM and tensor math too long to be able to
reliably check both papers myself.  Do others (more astute and recently
trained than I) agree that Cross has successfully answered Mansuripur's
paradox?
