As I recall, an early version had a beautiful article on exceptions....

..ah yes, here it is. 

Technical Feature: Exceptions by Design
 
  Vassili Bykov examines issues in writing programs using exception
handling and ANSI standard exception handling.

Wonderful article Vassili!

Indeed, Smalltalk Chronicles is shaping up to be generally excellent!

The Compiler article in the current issue is, once again, quite good.

IIRC, Craig Latta had a bit of comparison of his Situations based
framework and ANSI. I do recall that the *last* time I read it, I had the
impression that something clicked. Of course, that might have been my jaw
popping... ;)
