Bonnie on the spot

Every week, the New York Times magazine's Deborah Solomon takes a picture and asks some probing questions of the great and the good. This week, she asked Bonnie Fuller, who is editorial director of American Media, publishers of Star and the like. (Fuller has written a book celebrating having it all, called "The Joys of Much Too Much.") Fuller should know, having cut quite a swath through the U.S. magazine world, as editor of Glamour, Cosmopolitan, US and Marie Claire after getting her start in Canada at the Toronto Star and Flare magazine.

Among questions and answers about her house husband, about greed, her political registration, her views on celebrity journalism etc. she was asked what magazines she subscribes to and she said: "I don't subscribe to any magazines. Subscriptions come too late for me, and I am too impatient. I have to get my magazines at the newsstand."
