The New Yorker has always done long-form journalism and profiles about a variety of subjects, with no regard to a geographic connection to NYC. It's not a magazine about a city. The first few pages DO remain "Goings On About Town," but that's a fraction of the page count. I have the February 10th issue on my desk right now, actually. The long articles in this one are: - A discussion of an unusual development in a high-rise condo - A long article by MacArthur winning music critic Alex Ross (ie, not the comics artist of the same name) on Alma Mahler-Werfel - A piece on the struggle of the US Military to keep recruiting up ahead of ordinary depletion - An article on the pursuit of an artificial blood substitute Incidentally, if you're interested in modern classical music at all, Ross' book THE REST IS NOISE is pretty great.
