******* ******* Martha Stewart vowed yesterday to feed readers and viewers more "why" and a little less "how to" in her empire's magazines and TV shows. But looking for something more than a glib line ??” publishing pros said after the meeting they had no idea how the domestic diva hopes to rescue flagship magazine Martha Stewart Living.

Yahoo News HICKSVILLE, N.Y., March 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Evelyn Ain, a NY-based autism advocate and parent, is now touching the lives of families nationwide. Ms. Ain is taking her magazine, Spectrum: For Parents of Children with Autism and Developmental Disabilities, to a national circulation to provide families with a lifestyle publication specifically catering to their needs and the many challenges they face everyday.
After learning that her son was autistic at 15 months, Ms. Ain desperately searched for information regarding the disorder, but was frustrated by the limited material available to her and other families who shared the same special needs. It was this dissatisfaction that motivated the young mother to launch Long Island Spectrum and New York City Spectrum in 2004 as a means to fill the void of information available to families who have developmentally disabled children. After her success with the Long Island and NYC editions, Ms. Ain is now offering her magazine to families nationwide through a national edition, United Spectrum.
