They actually _went_ digital, this is more than a year old, but it's the
first I saw of it. 

"Although the magazine had published plenty of digital photos, it had never
assigned a major story to be covered entirely with digital photography
before. McNally and his long-time picture editor at the magazine, Bill
Douthitt, wanted to give it a try.... McNally clinched his argument with the
high quality of some 16 x 20 and 20 x 30- inch inkjet prints. He'd had them
made from LEICA D1X photos, which he'd shot earlier that year on the
aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. The prints impressed several key
figures at the magazine, McNally says."
