Summary: SciAm goes pulp

Not only this, but recently I received a subscription offer from this
formerly reputable publication in the full Publisher's Clearinghouse
style:  "Subscribe now to be entered in our sweepstakes for the amazing
grand prize of ... no purchase necessary."  

The article justifying the "(no) swimsuit issue" didn't seem to have
as much content as I'm used to seeing in this magazine.  If they are
going to give up their quality in search of readership I don't see
why we should support them.
