     their publications as a refreshing change from business as
     usual -- even, on a grander level, political progress.  But
     far from advancing some brave new vision for women in the

     magazines have simply identified a potentially lucrative
     market and are hoping to cash in" (N.Y. TIMES, 9/21).
