Monday Magazine Roundup: A Quick look at today’s most interesting publications


The “new” Newsweek—having now allied with The Daily Beast Web site (the site is slugged in the Newsweek banner)--debuts with “150 Women Who Shake the World,” and Hillary Clinton appropriately gracing the cover.
Time counters with Fareed Zakaria’s “Yes, America Is in Decline”—cover-illustrated with a foam hand pointing down.
The extraordinary fall of  designer John Galliano gets columnist Bridget Foley wondering about Dior’s future on the front page of today’s WWD, which also spotlights Haider Ackermann’s “breathtaking collection” from Paris.
Billboard features Latin super-act Mana on the cover, and comes up with four items at the top of new Sony Music CEO Doug Morris’s agenda.
New York is out with its Best of New York 2011 special double issue, covering food, clothes, kids, nightlife, repairs, etc. The New Yorker, meanwhile, leads with Tina Fey’s “late-night tips” and reports on the BP oil spill and the films of the great Iranian director Abbas Kiarostami.
Entertainment Weekly inevitably splashes “Charlie Sheen’s War” on the cover. On a less sensational note, Fortune focuses on IBM, and poses the question “Google, Nike, Amazon, Apple, Coke…Who’s Number One” in an issue devoted to “The World’s Most Admired Companies.”
Finally, the March issue of Paris Vogue has a free kids fashion supplement! U.S. Vogue, of course, has Lady Gaga and “Born This Way” on the cover, but here’s a tip: Check out Ashford & Simpson’s outstanding “Born This Way” on YouTube. They wrote it a few years ago for a musical, and it’s performed by Broadway’s Terry Lavell.
