[OS X TeX] Re: Modifying bst files

[Dr.John R.Vokey]

If apalike is close, then the apacite package should give you what you 
want, as the commas and ``&'' and ``and'', et al. are defined in LaTeX 
variables that you can set to anything you want.  For example, setting 
\BBAY to empty will eliminate the comma between the name and the date.
