Observations:
There is a bit of a lull for the number of ads in National Review and New Republic, end of year I suspect.  Curiously, despite its usual trend — with corporate groups feeling the need to cover both of these bases, there is no overlap between the two magazines.   National Review is notable in having two different places for high school students to go this summer to get their movement conservative tips — one celebrating Reagan’s 100th birthday. 
The Weekly Standard’s “US Chamber of Commerce” ad was predictable, but what am I to make of One of China’s Fastest Growing Vocational Vocational Training Schools” — and twice?
FLAME usually makes the rounds in New Republic and National Review, but for whatever reason it only tapped the American Spectator.  I do not know what prompted Sarkes Tarzian to pay for a full page logo. 
The American Spectator and Reason share an “AlphaPub” ad, which discourses on the need for God to be firmly placed in any Libertarian or Conservative governance, all while not saying the word “God” or “Jesus”.  I imagine Reason readers less likely than National Review or American Spectator readers to have no use for a physical collection of reference books — in the same way that it is the only magazine here that could run an ad for a Terminator 3 video game. 
Make of it what you will how the Great Courses lecture series divvies up its subjects — at random, perhaps?
