I was looking around for a magazine today, and couldn't find it anywhere. I stopped by about four or five of the corner newsstands asking for the magazine, and none of them had it. In fact, several of them looked at me as if they had never heard of the magazine. Then I realized that these newsstands only carry porn and cigarettes. I hadn't ever noticed that before.
The magazine I was looking for? US News and World Report. Nobody carries this thing. It's like the black sheep of news magazines. More newsstands had The Economist (which is like the British hippie cousin of news magazines). It makes you realize how US News has been able to turn the "Top 10" list into a year-long publication. There's top colleges, grad schools and hospitals. When will they come out with "America's Top Religions?" They would be able to have all sorts of categories, like "miracles performed," "martyrs," and "fundraising." The best categories, of course, would be "selectivity" and "reputation."
