Insert something clichéd and sentimental about autumn here. And scratch it out.
There are hundreds of ways for us to demonstrate our love for the current season. We could describe the crisp air, the cool mornings, the shifting colors of the leaves and sky. Without a doubt, autumn is setting in, and fast. But rather than wax poetic about it all, we at the Globe would prefer to give you our own take on a dynamic start to the season.
And what with this September release being our first full issue of the Globe Newsmagazine ever, isn’t that reason enough to be excited right now?
But enough with that. In all seriousness, we’ve been feeling the onset of autumn this year coming at a wilder pace than ever before. Perhaps it’s the earlier date of Homecoming, or the rapid-fire pulse of the political arena. Maybe it’s simply the Indian summer and the erratic cool snaps. Whatever the reason, we’re surely feeling a shift in the atmosphere. And the Globe is here to tell you all about it.
For those of you who do fancy the usual fall fare, we’re not one to leave you empty-handed. Flip to our feature breakdown of Homecoming and relive the festivities that happen just once a year. There’s a bit of the upcoming fall play, “The Taming of the Shrew,” in here, too, and, as always, the scoop on the fall sports season.
But, just as autumn signals the shift to winter, so other changes are making their way to the surface as well. The iPhone 5 is on the horizon, so we’ve gotten a few words in on how exactly those wonderful multitasking devices are shaping our generation, as well as a peek into the political world as it stands now, from an update on the much-hyped “Facebook law” that made its appearance back in August to the progress as the 2012 presidential candidacy race revs up.
So grab a copy of this month’s issue. As wonderful as our August release was (we hope, of course), we’re stepping up our game for the real deal. We’ve got 48 pages, a full spectrum of opinions and news, from local to national, and as many colors as we can manage.
Read. Marvel. Enjoy the autumn weather while it lasts. We can’t tell you exactly how, but hopefully you’ll find a reason to do so somewhere between these two covers.
Savor the ride.
