Unless it has improved since I saw it last, why bother?  When I first
started subscribing, it was what it pretended to be: a publication 
examining objectively claims of the paranormal.  By the time my subscription
ran out (or whatever it was that happened to the magazine), they were
beginning to remind me of creationists: the same Keepers of the True
Science, with a pretense of objectivity veneered over a strong bias
in favor of protecting the scientific establishment.  They had managed
to completely defeat the purpose of science: free inquiry.
