Speaking of the press lots of interesting new stats in the latest Time.

Speaking of Time, I've been reading it for the past several months. I noticed that it is not nearly as good as it was. Thin little thing that lacks depth in its articles and takes a definite political position. I'll be sticking with The Economist and CSM for my general audience new magazines. I've also watched Scientific American degrade into less science and more politics over the years. I shall not be renewing the subscriptions.

Well informed as well, for sure. We've got so many sources of info now, we all must be way informed
