Oneant,

Thanks for the kind remarks about the magazine.

I certainly see what you're saying with regard to the layout of the crossword puzzle. The placement of certain ads is often dictated by our arrangements with the companies placing the ads, which in turn can affect the placement of ads throughout the whole magazine. I can't speak specifically about the ads surrounding the crossword puzzle, but I have forwarded your e-mail to our editor and our production and advertising departments so they can be aware of the concern.

Thank you for your interest in American Way and for your patronage of American Airlines. We definitely appreciate it.

Regards,

Mr. X
Assistant Editor
American Way
