How to cite something that my style manual doesn't cover?
I wish to cite this in a paper, in Chicago style, but my Turabian manual doesn't have anything close to what I need...:grr:...any help out there? The internet can be so useful sometimes but it can also be one of the hardest things to cite. I need both footnote and bibliography formats.

Thanks in advance for your help.:)
