So here goes (quoting my email):
Hey,
Thought you might be interested in this “deal.”
As you may or may not know, Sarita and I used to subscribe to the Economist. An absolutely wonderful news magazine. Love(d) it. Except it is/was just too thick. We couldn't keep up. Boy! It kept us informed,but . . .
We've been subscribed “forever” to World magazine for a good Christian perspective on news worldwide (though heavily U.S.-centered).
About a year ago or so, however, our investment advisor at the time introduced me to The Week. I love it—and loved it from the start. It seems like “just the right size,” covers just about every subject (international and U.S. news; business, politics, science, sports, books, film, music, arts, popular culture. . . , and, every issue, a thought-provoking “Last Word” article at the end), and—while we continued to receive the Economist, I was impressed to realize that many of the articles I saw in the Economist had already been covered a week before in The Week. Plus—and this is big for me—they seem to offer a very nice balance of reporting and commentary from both liberal and conservative perspectives. (Very rare, in my experience.) –You get to hear what people on “both” (or [almost] “all”) sides of an issue—again, both U.S./national as well as international—are saying.
42 pages long. National and international news.
We get it Friday afternoon and I've usually devoured it within 24 hours.
NICE!
Well . . . They said I could offer friends a four-issue, free subscription if they (i.e., you!) wanted to click-through from the link below. And when I clicked through to see what the deal really was, it turns out, if you want to extend the subscription, you can get 25 issues for $24.95--$1 a week. . . which is pretty much the best I've seen.
What a deal.
If you're interested.
John
