"What is your favorite magazine?"

Neil V. McKittrick - Goulston & Storrs, A Professional Corporation 
"My favorite magazine is Sports Illustrated. I also enjoy reading The Sports Guy's columns in ESPN Magazine.  I suppose it would have been more impressive if I had said my favorite magazine was Foreign Affairs or The Labor Lawyer, but SI is great light reading on the beach, especially for someone whose competitive athletic career ended with my graduation from college more than 20 years ago.  Other than running and pick-up basketball, my sports fix is now satisfied by attending my kids' high school games and coaching their youth basketball and baseball teams (and pitching batting practice to the teams, at least early in the season before my arm wears out) and, of course, watching the Sox.  SI keeps me up to date on the happenings in the rest of the sports world so I know what my kids are talking about, and the articles are often written with a good mix of humor and just enough hyperbole to keep me from putting them down.  In addition, The Sports Guy's columns in ESPN are very funny for any Boston sports fan, especially those over 40, who has some history here."

Nancy Perlman - Looney & Grossman LLP
"US Magazine.  After a long day of work, it’s always nice to have some mindless Hollywood gossip to laugh about."

David Moran - Gesmer Updegrove LLP
"The Economist is my favorite weekly news magazine - or any type magazine for that matter. It offers a great European view of our successes and foibles as well as tremendous coverage of the rest of the world and many special reports that no other magazine even attempts providing. The problem is that it is difficult to read in its entirety on a weekly basis - a good problem. My feeling is that it is a magazine that treats you like an adult instead of providing pages of froth that are more colorful but superficial leaving you no better off after your review."

Thomas C. Chase - Day Pitney LLP
"My favorite magazine is Fine Woodworking. Woodworking is one of my hobbies. In one sense this is quite different from my day job, handling emerging company financings, M&A and other corporate work at Day Pitney. One of the similarities, however, is that in both endeavors the fundamental skills are obtained over time and increase with practice and instruction. Another is that although law practice, like woodworking, largely involves application of fairly well known rules and relationships, in both there is often at least a small element of innovation."
