"Desiree Rogers is at the center of one of the most closely watched presidencies of our time, and we were able to capture intriguing insight into the challenges and opportunities for what may lie ahead over the next four years with Brand Obama," said Tina Gaudoin, editor-in-chief of WSJ.
With a global circulation of 960,000, WSJ. will appear on Saturday, May 2, in the U.S. Weekend Edition of the Journal and on Friday, May 8, in the The Wall Street Journal Europe and The Wall Street Journal Asia. All content from WSJ. magazine, including additional video and interactive elements, is available for free at http://wsj.com/magazine.
Additional features in the summer issue include:
* Buyer's Market: While last season's radical discounting among
upscale department stores may have altered the designer landscape
irrevocably, it also paved the way for a handful of smart
entrepreneurs to squeeze through. WSJ. offers a behind-the-scenes
look at the brave new world of bricks-and-mortar and online
discounted designer retail establishments.
* Warrior Pose: Paula Puopolo could shoot a submarine out of the
water from 150 miles away, but now the whistleblower in the
Tailhook scandal leads a serene life as a yoga entrepreneur. In a
candid interview with WSJ., she shares her recollections of the
day she brought the then-president to tears, took down the
secretary of the Navy and how yoga gave her a new lease on life.
* Glossy Finish: The art world's current "go to" gallerist David
Zwirner's position in the industry didn't stop him from giving an
unvarnished opinion to WSJ. on a market in freefall -- slamming
some top artists along the way -- and offering tips on surviving
the global art crash.
