It conveys much more readily a cheap tabloid format known in TV and sports magazines. The Contents page is unreadable with too much bold-face text, and way too many colors. The section titles seem way to large. At least the font is not attractive. The little insert color picture would better rather be left out or placed in the hands of some real graphics artist. Can we get some of the OLD format back again? That's my 2-bits worth. -- Ralph P.
