Interesting Arne--I do indeed live in California and now suspect something
more than the pace of snail mail is involved in my missing issue (although
book rate _is_ about the slowest of snails there is). So I called Erlbaum who-is-at
(201) 236-9500 and talked to the journal desk about the missing v3(2) and
they re-shipped the issue to me, no questions asked. Unfortunately I was
also told it would take from 2-3 weeks for delivery (a veritable glacier
among snails indeed).

PS: I also would be interested in what Martin Jay had to say. The only thing
I can recall of him were some comments, I think in _Modern European
Intellectual History_, that intellectual history should/might take a
linguistic turn (away from the notion of "ideas" I believe). This suggests a
possible commitment to some form of critical hermeneutics but also possibly
a negative heuristic (pace Lakatos) that meaning can not arise from anything
other than language; i.e., mimesis would be an unwelcome visitor--and would
definately not be invited to stay for dinner.
