I am settled but about 1991 it was ready to go
under. It then started to add a human interest angle
and has never been the same since. IOW: I canceled and
have rarely bothered with its "popular science" angle
since then.
Also unless bait is a modifier as to the type of
flame that should be one word.

No, no. It was the quiz one:

And if you borrowed the issue from your dentist's office as part of an
effort to appear erudite, just remember to call it Scinteific American,
not America. "Oh I've been reading Scientific America for years" is
probably the second most common thing a member of the staff hears, the
firste beeing, "Jeez, I would have thought a magizine editor could afford a
nicer apartment".

Anyone else here read Discover? Anyone else here think it was better

I read it, but I didn't get it before Disney, so I can't really say. I
rate it lower than Scientific American, but higher than Popular
Science(which I no longer get).

I love SciAm but my dad refuses to subscribe. And our subscription to
Discover was never renewed.

copy
