           Why do people read magazines?
           There are many answers, of course: people
           read magazines to be informed, to relax on
           a weekend afternoon or ease the tedium of
           a commute, to decorate their coffee tables.
           What makes magazines like this one truly
           special is that they help you see the world
           from a perspective other than your own.
