dear Jackie, it not your skills that are lacking--it's the site-- even though they post most of the magazine each week, there is no way to get to the archives.. unless you go to the site each week and bookmark it.. there is no path to a previous issue..

so its rather easy to get to this weeks issue, or to any old issue that i have book marked.. (an the one i created a link to in one of the threads still works) but since i didn't bookmark last weeks issue.. its gone!
its one of those quirky, fun, irritating things about the magazine! if you checked out tsumw's link, or the home page of The New Yorker, you find they don't have an email address.. you can't email in comments. very old fashioned that way.
