Past its sell-by date or too much of a good thing?
The Index in Harper's magazine is a monthly wonder: a list of single lines of fact set in conjunction so as to suggest larger themes. The percent of American adults who believe the Bible is the literal word of God on one line, the percent who think Joan of Arc was Mrs. Noah on the next, that sort of thing.
Sadly, this compilation has too few of those a-ha moments, and it suffers because its contemporary political references are 20 years out of date.
Stick with the monthly version ...

Great popular reference on everything in general but nothing in particular.
