Actually I've tried this, too, but usually find simply typing the citation
to be about as easy.  Perhaps I haven't followed closely enough how to do
"second citations" correctly, but I kept having hassles like the font
change, not wanting the entire (long) title in the citation, etc.  I've also
had trouble defining the style get the author right (i.e. just the first
author's last name), although the fact that others are using this suggests
that I just haven't figured out how to set it up right.  Perhaps someone who
feels she/he really knows how to make this work would be willing to post a
nice synopsis of this technique (or, if this has already been posted, send a
reminder of where/when it appeared).

The other problem I've had with the [Schwartz, 1982, Greenhouse hypothesis]
style of citation is, if I recall correctly, that EndNote has trouble
if certain types of punctuation appear in a title, such as commas.  For
example, if the title is "Apples, oranges, and other popular fruits", only
"Apples" works as the title, since the rest is parsed as another field in
the citation, rather than part of the title.  Perhaps there is a good
work-around for this that I'm not aware of.
