        Re: At last, a Federal program we can all support. —Dave Schuler
   (...) It's like those shows on the Discovery Channel that quote "UFO experts" or "experts in the paranormal." How the heck does someone qualify as a UFO expert? Has he "seen" a bunch of UFOs? Has he heard a lot of stories about UFOs? Did he see (...) (23 years ago, 29-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Doing the Discover Mag Rag (Was: At last, a Federal program we can all support.) —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) I would favor Scientific American but that's just because I've never read the other two. I find SA to be a very absorbing read. But it's not a read while watching TV sort of rag, you need to give it your full attention to get what the articles (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Doing the Discover Mag Rag (Was: At last, a Federal program we can all support.) —Scott Arthur
       (...) We get New Scientist, it tends to be a bit "current" but it is a good read. The range of articles in it means one can spend and afternoon with it, or just a cup of coffee. It does not have the depth of Scientific American, but the detail is (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

       (...) That last chunk in the back of nothing but British job ads is a dangerous thing to have in the house, especially since Barbara wants to move us to England. :-, Indeed, this is an ongoing discussion in our house.

        (...) Yes, it certainly brings new meaning to the phrase "have an Indian". I admit of a double take the first time I heard that phrase used to mean going out for food (not that I've heard it any other way, mind you) However according to the Red (...)

        (...) Is this because of the curry-houses? I thought it was due to BSE? ;) The 3 month limit is crazy, one bad burger[1] is all it takes to catch it. Scott A [1] Or other beef product. (23 years ago, 2-Nov-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Doing the Discover Mag Rag (Was: At last, a Federal program we can all support.) —Dave Schuler
     (...) Well, if you're only looking to maintain the status quo of scientific integrity, Weekly World News isn't too much of a leap away from Discover! I don't follow many science journals too regularly, though I'll pick up an occasional Scientific (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Doing the Discover Mag Rag (Was: At last, a Federal program we can all support.) —Jeremy H. Sproat
     (...) Don't be so quick to dismiss the Weekly World News! I find it an invaluable resource for the all-too-often times I'm stuck behind someone who's trying to buy 18 cases of soup at the grocery store. And besides, I can't wait to see how the Bat (...)

        Re: Doing the Discover Mag Rag (Was: At last, a Federal program we can all support.) —Christopher L. Weeks
   (...) Science News. It's thin. It's weekly. It summarizes the findings from all the real journals with enough reference that you can go get the whole article if you want to.
