Yes, under the new owners Sci.Am. is degenerating, particularly in the book
reviews and "Science and the Citizen" columns.  And of course there is no
new Martin Gardner (or Hofstader, for that matter).  Article content doesn't
yet seem (IMHO) to be greatly affected, though I fear it will be eventually.
