I may already know the answer, but my question is:  are magazine
subscriptions an allowable cost on federal research grants ?

A-21 says that an institution's subscription to business, professional
and technical periodicals are allowable.  The issue has arisen as to
whether a computer/technology magazine called "Wired" falls into
the A-21 category.  Does this fall into the "iffy" category?  Will
someone (in particular the faculty member who wants this from his
grant account) be ready to have a bad day?

Any comments or suggestions welcome.
