Summary: Science magazines

I kind of like Science News.  It is a whole lot more terse than Scientific
American, and is more 'news items' oriented than 'in-depth article'
oriented.  It's also on a considerably lower level than SA, but not nearly
so much so as, say, "Discover".  Plus it's a weekly news magazine, so you
get a lot more current information.

It is by no means a replacement for Scientific American.  But I think it's
a reasonably decent overview of what's going on.
