I think Scientific American has referred to it. In general, I think that
the educated US citizen gets a raw deal on good magazines compared with
his/her European counterparts. "The Economist" has no equal here. "New
Scientist" is also excellent - of course the exception to my statement
is "Scientific American" which never fails to delight me.

I haven't even read my backlog .. ("Who Got Einstein's Office?", "Penrose
Tilings and Trapdoor Ciphers", etc. etc.) so I'll hope someone else can
provide a review here. Come to think of it - I think you might find one
if you check back about a 100 articles in comp.ai.
