Speaking of slick CIA pubs, there's another called "Factbook on
Intelligence," which has been published for many years and contains
the most detailed unclassified CIA org chart I know of. As of my
last copy, it was free, and can be obtained by calling the CIA
public affairs office (yes, there is one) at (703) 482-7676. If
that doesn't work, call the operator at (703) 482-1100 and ask for the
PA office.

	"tabloid" refers to a particular substyle of newspaper publication.
	 It just happens that the best known (in the US) users of the "tabloid"
	format are senastionalist.  ECN, EDN Products Review, The Law Digest
	and a couple of financial journals are also "tabloids" in printer_speak.
	It defines a page style and prientation, rather than a content.  It also
	_implies_ a "daily/urgent" style rather than a weekly/slick format.
