	Scientific American - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scientific American is one of the oldest popular-science magazines, published monthly since August 28, 1845.
		Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") is widely read, with a rough monthly circulation of 100,000 US and 100,000 international newsstand sales and subscriptions as of June 2005.
		Whilst a well-respected magazine, it is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal in the sense of Nature or Communications of the ACM; rather, it is a forum where scientific discoveries are explained to a wider audience — often including scientists working in unrelated fields.

	Scientific American Frontiers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Scientific American Frontiers is an American television program primarily focused on informing the public about new technologies and discoveries in science and medicine.
		The show is produced for the PBS network in the U.S., and typically airs once every two to four weeks.
		Some early viewers of the program who were young at the time have ended up appearing as guests in newer episodes, often stating that the program inspired them to continue their scientific pursuits.

		Scientific American has been in existence for more than 150 years; admittedly in its earlier years it was more about mechanical inventions and the like.
		They had presented a new and scientifically supported theory on arteriosclerosis and other causes of 'plaque' buildup, showing that it is not mostly a 'fat buildup' in the arteries, but an inflammatory immune response.
		I will not continue to subscribe to Scientific American mostly because of these ignorant editorials that showcase their condescending view of mere mortals that may not share quite the same worldview the Sciam staff does.

		Their explanation centered on the sides of the container generating a "current" that produced the result.
		I did not minor in engineering as I earlier planned, but I did substitute science, math and computer courses of engineering majors for the "easier" (not necessarily easier and required permission from the School of Mass Communications) mass communication versions of those courses so that changing to that major would be simple and economical.

	My Reply to the American Chiropractic Association
		Robert S. Baratz, M.D., D.D.S, Ph.D. Daryl D. Wills, D.C., president of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA) has complained about a program broadcast June 4, 2002, by Scientific American Frontiers and posted to the SAF Web site.
		As president of the American Chiropractic Association (ACA), I find it ironic that a program titled "Scientific American Frontiers" would completely ignore the scientific foundation of the chiropractic profession.
		To put these remote risks into perspective, a study published in the April 15, 1998 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association found that more than 2 million Americans become seriously ill every year from reactions to drugs that were correctly prescribed and taken; 106,000 Americans die annually from those side effects.

	Letter From Hal Puthoff To The Editor Of Scientific American
		My remarks address coverage of the zero-point energy topic in the November 19 Scientific American Frontiers PBS program with Alan Alda, and in the companion article in the December issue, in both of which our laboratory was featured.
		Finally, as to the energy possibilities, the article ends with the clich "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is." Of course, healthy skepticism about the promise of ZPE conversion, as about the promise of, say, hot fusion, is fully justified.
		This is especially the case in an area such as ZPE research that is at the frontiers of both our physics understanding and engineering capability.
