Yet another Economist subscriber here, for international affairs.
American Scientist, for science written for generalists. Bimonthly, so I'm not drowning in unread back issues (ever tried staying abreast of Nature?). To my eye, less sensational than New Scientist, and less editorializing than Scientific American. Worth it for the columns by Henry Petroski and Brian Rice even if you read nothing else.
Reason, for American libertarian political trash talk. I maintain the subscription only because my not-exactly-libertarian wife enjoys it. Domestic front propaganda, if you will.
If all three were taken from me, I would miss American Scientist very much. Highly recommended.
