There were a couple of good photos but the rest would have gotten a 1 in LR and been discarded if they had been mine. I don't get it. At least this issue was on world issues. Usually the USA version has a cover story on entertainment or health (ME issues) and the international version has a cover story on what's really important in the world. Dumbed down for the USA.
