Thank goodness Warren has them all(?) on www.tuhs.org.
But yes, google should have done better. If there are
any pre-journal ones that Warren doesn't have, they
should be sent to him to add to his archive. It starts
with OCTOBER 1978 VOL 1 NO 1. It looks complete (to
someone who wasn't there at the time - I was only nine).

cheers,
raf
