That guy should be nominated for a Pulitzer.

I don't think the content has changed that much with the new layout. 
Some months are better than others as always. I was actually hoping 
that the new layout would improve the look, with maybe a greater 
emphasis on quality photography on the cover. Instead the pictures are 
the same boring things but now overlaid with distracting writing. I 
would rather they tried to depend on the image to draw people in 
instead of loud writing.
