Seeing through Statistics by Jessica Utts, Duxbury
Press. http://anson.ucdavis.edu/~utts/describe.html.
A much more modern version of the above, but also more rigorous.
Nontheless, Part I of this book does an excellent job of helping students
read the paper.
Dr. Utts also has done some excellent statisitcal anlysis of extrsensory
phenomina, in case your studetns are interested http://www.stat.ucdavis.edu/~utts/
