Devoid of ads, news, politics religion, sex, its 108 pages brim with simplistic sermonettes, warm remembrances and fervent hopes. Texts, which seldom run over 500 words, are sprinkled with bland heads ("One-Man Production" "Dynamics for Survival"), beguiling sketches and bylines of the famous and the unknown...
