"Publishers Weekly" discussed SA's financial woes a couple of
years ago pointing out that there really is only room for one 
general science magazine in the marketplace and that SA was 
losing more and more of its advertisers and subscribers to the 
new science magazines (ie, Omni, New Scientist, Science, etc).  
PW predicted that Omni would be the first to go, but that in 
any case, Scientific American was facing a very bleak future.  

Oh, well, remember money talks.
