The rings are slowly disappearing (it'll take maybe 100 million years), but the material is being drawn to the atmosphere by its magnetic field at the rate of about 22,000 lbs/second. I did a search on their website and that article isn't there yet, but this older one is:

So what you're saying is that the equator is not the beautiful tropical paradise on Saturn like it is on earth unless you've got a REALLY well reinforced roof and tunnels to get away from your home?

FYI, I've had Smithsonian subscriptions a few times over the years (used to use frequent flyer miles to get it). You can also sign up for a free email. I think I get an email a day or every other day, and each email has links to about 6-12 articles.
