...and then there's my all-time favorite:

1857-1932  The Atlantic Monthly
1932-1971  The Atlantic
1971-1981  The Atlantic Monthly
1981-1993  The Atlantic
1993-current  The Atlantic Monthly (which now has The Atlantic on the cover and contents pages, although the publisher's statement and page-bottoms still say The Atlantic Monthly)!

Subject: [SERIALST] examples of tricky title histories

Do you have a "favorite" example of a magazine or journal with a
particularly convoluted title history? I would like to know what it is.
(I'd like some fresh examples for the serials course I teach at
SUNY-Albany.)

Although it will exclude some real doozies, please no series or
government publications. I want to challenge the students, but not drive
them crazy!

Please reply to me directly, and I'll summarize for the list.
