By some weird quirk of fate, mine too was dropped from the claws of some ravening monster earlier today, through the bars of my cell. I caught it before the rats had a chance to shred it, and even now am reading it by the last flickering light of a candle-stub.
Did FT always get posted-out with it's backside showing, and the subs/address sheet covering-up the lurid unspeakable front cover? (I talk in hyperbole for reasons of dramatic clarification and because our time here is too short for boring teminological inexactitudes). I had a notion that originally it used to be dispatched by Dennis with it's scary bits showing....unless that is a false memory. Maybe postal workers were becoming traumatised by the front covers...
I'm sure it occasionally used to come with the cover showing.
I don't understand why they reverse it, it makes no sense to me. Free advertising to dozens of postmen, right? Why not use it?
That sounds bad, searinglight.Im pretty glad the cover doesnt get shown so much anymore, it seemed like whenever the cover was visible and had a particularly...exotic...cover story the magazine used to arrive damaged- my guess was that it was some religious postal worker taking exception and slashing it - it happened far to consistently to be coincidence and the postman always denied knowledge.

You should have reported that to the post office.
That mobile phone case ad ....

From what I hear Uranus is always very popular.
Glad to hear that you liked Maggie, Ramon. It was directed by my cousin FACT!
I like the item about the Hobs. A good mix of articles in this issue.
I will confess that I've not seen it.
I'm hoping it will be a sleeper hit. Still, even if it tanks, he made a godamn film and got in on general release.
