A Gallup poll analyzed by Syracuse University expert George Bodine shows American views shifting toward two children as ideal, while households increasingly depart from traditional marriage-based patterns. The discussion covers Baby Boom legacies, social change since the 1960s, single living trends, delaying parenthood, economics, and the emergence of alternative family life as a healthy evolution.

Vanity Fair Returns After 47 Years Absence
A revived Vanity Fair debuts after a 47-year absence, weighing 290 pages with 12 pages of Ralph Lauren ads. Editor Richard Locke leads a fresh staff aiming for a fast paced, high curiosity magazine targeting post-war educated readers.
Vanity Fair Market Snapshot and Subscriber Trends
Carr notes Vanity Fair is 53 percent female with a median age of 37.5, mainly along the Northeast and West coasts, earning about $37,000 yearly. About 550,000 are subscribers, with bill payments expected to affect circulation. The April issue will drop to 12 pages of ads from 168 in March as Conde Nast mags stay resilient.
