I've been subscribing to The Atlantic for all but two of the last 16 years. And I look forward to it every single month. What I like best is that they print articles of any kind of topic-I know many people were disgusted with the Britney Spears article and cover, for example, but it was another instance of an article that was unexpected and fresh.

My subscription has not started yet, but I'm eager to renew reading it. The Atlantic had been part of my life since I was a kid in the 30's.
Rating: - Great magazine gone bad
I began subscribing to the Atlantic around the time of start of the war in Afghanistan, and was an ardent fan. I loved the reporting by James Fallows and Mark Bowden, Mark Steyn's obits, and Christopher Hitchens' erratic but occasionally terrific stuff. It was literary, combative, intelligent, centrist but never doctrinaire. But after a few years I noticed a worrying development.
