Saga Magazine May 2015 : Page 1

In this issue of Saga Magazine : With the most closely fought general election in living memory just around the corner, the May issue of Saga Magazine is required reading. We’ve given each of the party leaders a soapbox and asked them to step up and tell readers what they plan to deliver to people like you if they’re elected. And we’ve compiled a snapshot of their main policies so you can compare and contrast at a glance before placing that vital cross.
Duty done, you can turn the page for a fascinating interview with cover star Al Pacino, who has a new film coming out about being a survivor – something the boy rascal from the Bronx turned Hollywood A-lister knows more about than most.
Another survival story is that of the Large Blue butterfly, once extinct on these shores but now making a comeback thanks to a remarkable bit of detective work involving a lot of patience and Battenburg cake. And also making a comeback are one dedicated follower of fashion’s extraordinary hoard of vintage clothes from the Sixties and Seventies, soon to go under the hammer. Warning: you may want to turn out your loft after seeing the glad-rags-to-riches prices some vintage items are fetching these days…
All that, plus Lynne Truss’s wit and Paul Lewis’s wisdom, just part of our unrivalled regular coverage of the arts, money, health, gardening, food and drink, travel and all the things that matter to you.
