With its urbane and cosmopolitan commentaries on everything from cross-country truck drivers to the latest geo-political imbroglios, the New Yorker has been delighting readers for eight decades. Despite the fact that it costs a few dollars to actually subscribe to the magazine, their website has a great deal of free content for the interested web-browsing individual. Visitors may wish to start by looking at some old chestnuts in their “From the Archive” area. In recent weeks, it has contained such gems as a 1962 interview with the author of the “Mary Poppins” books and poetry from Ezra Pound. Of course, one will also find some of the same sections as the print magazine, including ‘The Talk of the Town” and “Shouts and Murmurs”.
