Occasionally my eye gets used to it, and prefers the new look. But invariably, I don't like it at first, as I didn't with this one. I never like redesigns.

I like the new design, especially the shorter articles in the "Dispatches" section up front. The font is solid, secure, inviting. No gimmicks anywhere. What are your thoughts?

Glad you're on to one of my favorite tricks for stretching my reading time--going to lunch in the company of a great magazine. It surely raises the bar for human company when they must compete with the Atlantic. What do you think of the magazine's new redesign, by the way? Lovely stuff, Miles.

Please tell me how we went from gorgeous words on a page to referencing athletes...? Hmmm. If I didn't know better, I'd think you might be sparring with me, Miles (smile). Oh dear.

I know I've moved from my blog page to yours. :-) I commend you for making/taking the time - not only for yourself, but the writers that greatly appreciate your eyes and mind skimming over their blood, sweat and tears. It's truly a great feeling when you get lost in the words of well written prose. For me, a natural high. Nice post. The Joy of Good ____ (Writing). I know I’ve moved from my blog page to yours. :-)
