The panda issue is separate from the nuke issue. That article is a summary of all the documents that were recently declassified by the Brits, and not all of them have to do with nuclear war plans.
Most likely the your university has a license for the content and the journal websites simply allow you to access the full text as long as you are connecting from an IP within your university's IP block. I doubt Google has made any special arrangements.
However, some journals do seem to handle access control by looking at the referring URL. Those are the journal websites I hate, as I can't bookmark the sites themselves but have to click through from another site (usually in the library catalog) every time.
Note also that the content is different. Google Scholar tries to include as many sources as possible, whereas Highwire's portal AFAIK searches only those journals hosted by Highwire Press.
By pointing this out I don't mean to denigrate Highwire. Rather, they publish a lot of journals that are important (to me) and they do a really good job of making online journals easy to use, unlike some other publishers. However, I, along with most biomedical types, almost always start my searches with PubMed. And the (not free) Web of Science is very useful at times too.
I'm curious who the people are who actually send all this spam. Has anyone talked to a spammer, and asked them why they do what they do? Furthermore, what are the demographics of the spamming population--are spammers old, young, people with day jobs looking for extra cash, etc.? What makes a good man turn into such a monster?
