As usual, I learned so much from National Geographic. The June issue wasn't even one of my personal favorites, and yet it is a pleasure to read and learn. The Feeding the World article really gives you pause and makes you wonder if we are not on the precipice of a huge catastrophe waiting for us. And the pictures from Pink Dolphins of the Amazon were simply amazing. These creatures seem to be from a story book or fairy tale, and yet are real, though they might not be around long if attention is not given to their environment.

Playboy is always interesting. This months interview with Shia LeBeouf was interesting because he seems one of the most unguarded celebrities ever to give an interview. Yes, he has troubled times, and he freely admits to mistakes...very freely. But he also does not want to change that he is a bit...unconventional, his background is, and it has made him think in different ways. 20Q with Scott Boras was interesting. I don't like him much, and I think the super agent is bad for baseball. But he points out how baseball has gotten in its own way many times (too true) and his job is to do the best he can for his clients, not baseball. That is the commish's job. True that.The fiction "Lovely Rita" by Maile Meloy was an excellent short story. And the Playmate of the year was...gasp...a black woman! Not a big boobed blonde! Will wonders never cease. Hef does still have the ability to change!!!!
