Biblical Archaeology Review

I recently subscribed to Biblical Archaeology Review (BAR) and enjoy reading it cover to cover, even if some of it is waaaay over my head. However, I will say it seems like anything authored by the editor himself is below BAR standard. For instance, on the issue of the "James, Brother of Jesus" ossuary, the guy's got a vested interest in it being legit, so a cover piece he wrote about it is as objective and professional as campaign literature. Still, this month's two page illustration of the Bubatite Portal's Sheshonq relief is worth the price of a subscription all by its lonesome. Anybody else read BAR?
