Summary: Science Direct Import problems - RIS

Initial Comment:
Hi guys,

Again, a Science Direct import problem for RIS files with abstract.  I saw the earlier ticket, not sure why it was closed, as I also can't import .ris files from science direct.  I tried changing encoding, tried removing return at head of file, and can't get it to take no matter what.  I'm attaching most recent ris file that didn't import.  Bibdesk in the least should fail gracefully- acknowledging some attempt at looking at the file.  Instead it appears to not even acknowledge I did anything, so it's hard to know it even fails.  I've tried double-click to open, I've tried opening from file->open, tried drag and drop to library, tried drag n drop to library database view (main window area).  None want to work with an of the files I've downloaded or modified.
