I like the Scientific American format. They start an article describing
a discovery/event/etc. in a language most people can understand... as
you read on, they change gears and become more specific to the point
where they lose a certain group of readers...just to switch gears again
and then REALLY get technical..they throw equations around which look
like they're multiplying verbs.

Interesting. I used to read SciAm 20 years ago and loved it. Now it's
(IMHO) total junk. Did the magazine change or did I?

I have no idea where they're at these days, Roy. I liked the format, but
the content is beyond me... stuff like nano-tubes. Unless I can make
those into a panel saw, I couldn't care less. *G*
