today on KGO radio (based in the San Francisco area), this very company
was targeted by their comsumer report editor.  she said that the company
tries to get you to think that the mag. is some other one.
(i.e., Best (not Better) Homes, Different (not Changing) times, etc.)
for the $4.95 you get a mag. made of the same paper as "Star" full of
ads and worthless articles.  in short, you pay them $4.95 to be placed
on a junk mailing list!  (yes, they sell your name to other people)
KGO is currently dealing with legal folks and postal athorities
on this matter.
