May I introduce myself as a keen new reader of the excellent Guardian Weekly. At the University of the Witwatersrand, where I studied mechanical engineering, we read the brave anti-apartheid Rand Daily Mail. Once I married I subscribed to the Star and trained my boxer dog to fetch it from the gate. After a career in heavy engineering in Johannesburg, we moved to Cape Town, where we subscribed to the Cape Times. However, the new Guardian Weekly provides a great supplement of thoughtful background and analysis, even if the crossword often defeats me.
