But a small word in defense of all those ads - they do indicate a good pay-per-word rate, which is hard to come by for freelancers. I like how The Believer puts their TOC on the back cover.

She was a prosecutor, but still. :-p WTF? She's getting a letter. I bought a copy of Vogue out of boredom on a weekend roadtrip, and counted the pages it took me to get to the TOC: 52! And the rest of the TOC didn't follow on the next page, I had to hunt 12 more pages in to get the second part. Damn! I mean really - they can put all those stupid ads in there, but why can't they move the TOC where we can find it? Perhaps that's why they put the stupid page numbers on the cover - because nobody can find the TOC!

He probably appeared half as many times in The New Yorker each year as he did in TNR. The James Wood move seems meaningless to me.
