When the stacks start to tilt and slide off onto the floor, I go through and rip out the articles I still think are worth reading and throw out the rest of the magazine. That greatly reduce their volume. I staple each article separately, and keep the pile of articles handy. I grab one when I'm looking for something quick to read, or I stuff a little bunch in my purse for when I have to wait somewhere and my iPhone isn't getting a good signal.
Jeff Wrangler:
I suppose it could be interesting to read political articles long "after the fact"--to see whether or not the author was correct.

Still trying to figure out if Bill Clinton did the right thing with the welfare program. Oh, and that "don't ask, don't tell" idea? That's idiotic. I sure hope they change that soon.
Jeff Wrangler:
I'd hardly say I'm catching up on my issues, but over lunch today I did enjoy the Oct. 14 issue article on Henry Wallace. Previous to reading this article, Wallace had been only a name to me, the vice president to FDR who came before Harry Truman. Now I know something about him. :)
