Bi-monthly

It's a shame that somebody apparently understood the history of "Science Digest" yet used the ambiguous word "bi-monthly" to try explaining how often it was issued after 1980. Was it twice a month or once every two months? D021317c 15:55, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bi-monthly means every two months in the publishing industry, as the linked article indicates. Twice a month would be semi-monthly. --Blainster 18:30, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

CfA discovery

The addition to the article claiming that the Geller & Huchra discovery was first announced in Science Digest (are you sure you don't mean the journal Science here, three years after Science Digest closed down?) needs a reference. --Blainster 16:13, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Editor & Managing Editor

The Editor of Science Digest for a long, long time was Richard F. Dempewolff (deceased). And Daniel Cohen was the Managing Editor. Dan had a beautiful daughter, Theodora, who perished in the horrendous Lockerbie airplane crash. Stewart James also worked there. Isaac Asimov had articles published in this nice little magazine and visited the offices. My source is personal knowledge. NewYawker1 (talk) 22:32, 11 November 2009 (UTC) LAM[reply]
