>My< complaint about SA, besides its skinny size, is that in the last year
or two it has been running articles with blatantly leftist political 
agendas.  Or so it looks to me.  The technical level is also lower.  

I emphatically disagree with the poster who suggests that SA is an institution
and deserves support no matter what it does.  Right now it's in a limbo
between _Nature_ and the Sagans of "gee-whiz, ain't reality weird!" glossys.
I'll take _Nature_ and hang the rest.
