You know how drug advertisements look in magazines—it can be like 3 pages of text (aka &#8220;product disclosure&#8221;) that runs on and on and interrupts whatever you&#8217;re reading. Heaven help you if you&#8217;re reading Reader&#8217;s Digest where 3 pages suddenly becomes 5 due to the smaller format. And if you do take [...]]]></description>
