That’s a fun observation. Perhaps it is a test for a subsequent Trump-centred edition where large parts of the world are erased.
I have to admit I let my S&T subscription lapse a few years ago. At the risk of sounding like a very old fogey it used to be a really good magazine that stood way above all of the others but now I think it is just one of many and I seldom found stuff of interest in it that I couldn’t get elsewhere.
