Word Power

I read approximately twenty magazines a month. I just received my first issue of American Heritage. After reading only a few pages, I feel I must thank you and your staff for allowing me to exercise my brain, dormant during the reading of most magazines. I have had to get up from my comfortable position twice and go to the dictionary. Although I applaud the application of vocabulary and grammar in your publication, I must object to having to go to the dictionary every three or four pages. If this trend continues, you will be directly responsible for the fitness of not only my mind but my body.
