I like the New Yorker. I very rarely read the Broadway play or movie reviews or the scoop on the art shows and concerts. I read the cartoons seriously, the last paragraph of James Surowiecki's's The Financial Page, and every now and then, one of its long articles that makes a difference in my thinking or knowledge of the world. David Brooks has an article in the Jan. 17 issue called "Social Animal" which is smoothly written, fun to read and worthwhile. Take a look here http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/01/17/110117fa_fact_brooks.
