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. And you can always pick up the especially interesting
Scientific American at the grocery store as you check out. I got Science news
for years but let it lapse in favor of Smithsonian which I call the best
magazine on earth (but not for science) (and only slightly ahead of Saveur).
