The Industry Imagining The Future Of W Magazine
Stefano Ronchi, editor of W magazine, has had just about enough, albeit in an unmussed, well- mannered, and not terribly bothered sort of way. It was the afternoon of August 9, the day after the magazine’s owner, the once mythically flush publishing firm of Condé Nast, had called a companywide meeting to run through various ways to save itself (most of which has already been leaked) after losing $120 million last year. Back-office functions were to be merged, seven of the company’s 23 floors at 1 World Trade Center would be sublet, and three magazines—Golf Digest, Brides and W—were going to be sold.
Tessa Thompson Knows People Can't Stop Thinking About Her … And Tweeting And Gifting And Talking About Her Love Of Goats, And Those Vagina Pants
IT’S UNCLEAR, STILL, who is to blame for the situation that occurred at Frank’s Cocktail Lounge in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. It could easily be the weather. The night air is the sort of steam-room moist-hot that allows for only one of two states of being: lethargic or horny. Even inside, with A/C on, our thighs stick to the bar’s cracked red vinyl seats. Or it could be the music.

Everyone Believed Larry Nassar
I - Larissa Boyce was 10 when her coach, John Geddert,forced her legs into a split so hard she cried. He pulled her right leg up toward his torso, sending shooting pains through her groin and hamstrings, and he kept pulling. “Racking,” as it’s called, was common practice at the gym, but it was evidently too much for Larissa’s mother, whomarched onto the mats and told Geddert to take his handsoff her daughter. From then on, Larissa would train under Kathie Klages, a relatively low-key coach with unruly red hair and glasses at Michigan State University’s Spartan youth gymnastics team. Klages, like Geddert, considered herself a dear friend of an athletic trainernamed Larry Nassar and sent her gymnasts to him. ¶ When, six years later, Larissa felt ready to talk about the fact that Larry had penetrated her with his hand without warning, she approachedKlages. Larissa remembers her office as a small room with a desk, a window, and green carpet. “ ‘I have known Larry for years and years,’ ” Larissa recalls Klages saying. “ ‘He would never do anything inappropriate.’ ”
