If you're a left-leaning person interested in politics like me, The New Republic is great. And the New Yorker might just be better.

a lot of people recommend the new yorker and the wall street journal (nyc's got great publications, crappy baseball teams ). science magazines and journals are good too.
it also helps to stay away from sdn despite what many of us would like to tell ourselves, reading these forums will NOT help with verbal reasoning

despite what many of us would like to tell ourselves, reading these forums will NOT help with verbal reasoning I would say Harper's is the best I've seen. There is a section called readings, which is a compilation of various random things that have appeared in writing (this month included court transcripts (one clarifying that a court reporter should have written "ho" instead of "hoe" and why), a newsletter form the Jerusalem Biblical Zoo, a Fox news radio interview, recipes for locusts from a UN website, and an essay on aquariums and their importance in the community for urban renewal etc,.)
It is really a nice smattering of material. There are lots of interesting articles and always some boring, wordy ones. Always a work of fiction (short story) and dense reviews of new books. The only thing I don't get from Harper's that is on the MCAT is bad writing.
