While I didn't find the referenced article in May 2012 or June 2012 editions
of QST, {just might not have looked close enough} what I did find was a bit
disturbing.
Page 56, May 2012 QST, shows a dipole fed with balanced line connected
directly to a radio. While this may have been intended to show a generic
concept or design and an effort to discuss the related RFI situation, the
picture alone sends a VERY WRONG MESSAGE. The text in the article does
justice to discussing RFI issues and potential solutions and investigations.
On the other hand, on page 54, May 2012 QST, is a very good example of "how
it should be done" with regard to the use of a common mode choke and the
lightning protection method.
Not only do I feel the need to point out these to the readers on this
reflector, I did copy the authors of those two articles.

The latest QST contains a paper on radials by an expert experimenter,
Rudy Severns N6LF.
For more on his earlier work go to <antennasbyn6lf.com> where a
presentation is available for download, and his web site has other
research on radials.
