Can I possibly be the only person who has noticed that the Communications of the ACM, after the layout changes, is downright ugly? I'll allow for differences in taste; someone else might think find the style attractive. But I can read the thing because of the heavy, tricky type and layout. Every gimmick is a stop sign to efficient reading, which says in effect, "notice me, forget the content." Can't we get it changed back to a professional magazine? I argue that we could still have a semi-popular, even colorful style without detracting from the essential function of COMMUNICATION. LAT
