I, in no way am doubting your knowledge of cars.
The September issue of Car&Driver, has the ECU on top of the transmission.
Is there more than one?

There are several, but you're right. The ECU behind the glove box is referred to as the BCM (Body control module) which controls everything that the ECM (engine) does not control. Earlier posters described this location as the ECM, more accurately it should be the BCM..
