2 Magazines

The November issue of Playboy was fun...the highlight being another celebrity willing to take her clothes off for the Playboy camera...Yes, Marge Simpson took it all off for Playboy. Homer is a lucky bastard!!! The article in Juarez, Mexico, one of the most violent cities in the world was eye-opening and alarming. How long before the violence spills over onto American soil? Probably not long. The tribute to Farrah was nice, and the new story by Stephen King was excellent too. And in the Forum, the two pieces about coerced confessions and police not allowing photographs of public scenes are thought-provoking and scary.

National Geographic had and especially good cover story, Egypt's Animal Mummies. Everything about this story was intriguing. the text meshed perfectly with the images...and the thought process behind the entombment of the animals is amazing too.
The photo essay on Madagascar's Labyrinth of Stone was simply awe-inspiring. That such places exist on our earth tells more about the diversity of life that can exist than any textbook. Wow! I really look forward to this publication every month!
