[|The New Yorker Homepage] - The New Yorker is one of the best places to read great in-depth magazine articles on art, current events, books, movies, and music. It also publishes long personal profiles of people in the news, especially artists, writers, musicians, directors, and politicians. The high school library subscribes to the print edition. Sign a few issues out and see what great writers are writing.

[|Lapham's Quarterly] - a reader's paradise. Lewis Lapham was the long-time editor of Harper's Magazine. His Quarterly journal is organized around a theme, such as The City, Sport and Games, The Arts, etc. Then he compiles writing and artwork from ancient to modern times which addresses the theme. You become exposed to classical and contemporary writers and artists. The High School Library also has the print version.
