Crimson readers show cosmopolitan urban characteristics in placing the New Yorker in number one slot as the most popular magazine on the stands, with Life and Time also selling out every week. Newsweek and the various digests are poor sellers; among the coolly received latter class, however, DeWitt Wallace's Pleasantville, New York, publication ranks first...
