Foreign Affairs is good substantial reading. (Don't forget the classic phrase from the essay there by the “neo-cons”: “Benevolent global hegemony.” Where?) Economist and Financial Times are _de_rigeur_ for airplane trips in addition to the Wall Street Journal as baseline daily or weekly reading.

For those who don't know, the Wall Street Journal is better written than other newspapers, as a confident rule. The first thing you'll do when you read it is to SLOW DOWN compared to how you've gone through more lightweight reading in other newspapers. Unlike the rest of the liberal mainstream media, the editorializing, in this case with the Journal, the conservative “stuff” is put on the editorial pages, though there is liberal op-ed material from time to time as well there. Al Hunt used to be a standard Thursday “fixture” in that newspaper, too.

I read a lot of other sources as time permits — newspapers, magazines, etc.
