The new format is a nightmare.  You (Stephen Duncan) are exactly right
when you say that it looks like someone just figured out what fonts are
and has gone desktop publishing crazy.

The new layout is garish as well as inconsistent from issue to issue.  I
used to enjoy the articles and have lamented that the content of the
issues has changed somewhat.  Now, even when an article I'm interested
in appears, I find it very difficult to read.

I continually wonder why this has happened and why no letters appear in
the CACM commenting on the situation.
