Doomed to fail?

"The magazine at the intersection of law and life" (otherwise known as Legal Affairs) isn't generating much in the way of newsstand sales, I'd bet. The publication design is dignified and restrained. K. and I read it from cover to cover, but, then, we would. We should ask M. whether he sees it. It's separately incorporated but it's listed as an "affiliated publication" of Yale Law School. One feature weighing heavily on the plus side is publication of Ted Rall cartoons. It's time to begin again to keep a spreadsheet of issues received for every sub. Yesterday we received an issue of the TLS from the second week in June. There was an illustration in it that made me want to see a really good image of the Palazzo Dario (or Ca' Dario) again. The fenestration of what must be the staircase is something I'd like to see in more detail (the round lights in the picture). A quick scan of Google shows that Monet and John Marin are among those who made it a subject. Our poor letter carriers are so over-burdened with unworkable and over-extended routes these days.
