The parametrization of the spectral functions includes constraints from unitarity, perturbative QCD, and recent measurements of the neutron charge radius. We obtain a good description of most modern form factor data, with the exception of the Jefferson Lab data on G_E^p/G_M^p in the four-momentum transfer range Q^2=3...6 GeV^2. For the magnetic radii of the proton and the neutron we find r_M^p = 0.857 fm and r_M^n = 0.879 fm, which is consistent with the recent determinations using continued fraction expansions.5 pages, 3 ps figures, final version, exp. errors in Figs. 1 and 3 correctedHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyNuclear ExperimentNuclear Theorytext
