    I only see the first two covers in that window. Wouldn't it make sense that this window could be scrolled so one could see the other covers as well?

    I have to admit that I wasn't blown away by any of the covers. Do we need to have two pictures of a brain (one would be too many). The others seemed to be just a jumble of who knows what. The January cover looked like a toilet. Most of the covers had far too big words spread across the cover; very unattractive.
    The June issue, which I picked was the best in terms of simplicity, and art value (not that I know beans about art, but it did seem attractive).
    May was my second choice.

    The cover should reflect the content. SA readers want intellectually interesting articles not the sensational techporn these pop up covers suggest. Leave the popular content to Popular Science (which I’ll admit to reading occasionally for the childhood memories).
    Think Mozart not Madonna.

    While my choice was FIRST AMERICANS, The Quantum World and Multiverse issues were my #2 and 3 choices. I would like to see some articles investigating the commonality of ancient societal myths even though many of those societies were separated by large geographical distances and the hypothesis forwarded explaining those commonalities. There seems to be more tying disperse groups of humanity together than meets the casual observation.

    Now you can't see the bottom of the second row of images? What's up with the graphics on this page?
