1 TAKE A HIKE No, really. Go outside. Because Take a Hike Day is November 17. So lace up your boots, find a trail, and Instagram some fall foliage. Bonus: It’ll relieve you of some of that turkey-induced guilt later this month. 2 NICE SHOT The last installment of the teen dystopia series you (not so) secretly love is finally here: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 2 opens November 20. Will J-Law’s Katniss (above) pick Peeta or Gale? Will the rebellion win? Will it sell out before you get to the theater? (Probably.) 3 SOMETHING ABOUT DREW Fact: It’s impossible to not totally, completely, 100 percent love Drew Barrymore. See for yourself in her new memoir, Wildflower (Dutton), out now, and her new movie, Miss You Already, in theaters…

I’m often asked what my favorite perks of this job are. You may be surprised to hear it’s not access to our famous fashion closet or the sweeping views of midtown Manhattan from my office, epic though they are. The perk that never loses its thrill is the opportunity to meet amazing women. By dint of my job, I am introduced to some of the most powerful people in America. And what I’m usually most struck by is the difference in the way women and men telegraph their power. With men, you can normally spot the guy in charge by what he’s wearing, how big his office is, how many people report to him. Not so for the women on our third-annual New Guard list of The 50 Most Connected…
Wherever you’re talking about MC—Twitter, Facebook, blogs, snail mail, or e-mail— we’re listening. Here’s how you responded to our September 2015 issue … DIG DEEP As an anti-human-trafficking activist, I can’t begin to express the overwhelming sense of hope I felt as I read “Crude Awakening.” Kayla Webley and Christa Hillstrom not only did brilliant research, they also approached and executed the writing with consideration of the victims in a noncondescending manner. It made me optimistic that other journalists will read their article and follow suit. Victims need compassion and encouragement, not contempt and judgment. Thank you for such a trueto-heart article! —Lourdes Nieto, Chicago BOSS LADIES Thank you for “Conquering the World 101” in @Work! It is so inspiring to see the women of Harvard Business School follow their…
EXECUTIVE EDITOR LEA GOLDMAN @lea MC’s Executive Editor curated the New Guard list of America’s most connected women (p. 128). “The New Guard is not a traditional power list,” she says. “There’s usually someone who gets no press but whom all the players know and refer to. She’s the one I’m after.” FAVORITE GADGET: Nespresso VertuoLine. SECRETLY OBSESSED WITH: The South. WRITER KARL TARO GREENFELD @karltaro “I first met Lea Michele when she was just a year into Glee,” says the L.A.-based cover-story writer (“Lea Lets Loose,” p. 200). “It was great to see how much more confident she’s become.” A highlight was listening to Michele’s new tracks in-studio. MOST-WORN ACCESSORY: Gucci loafers. FAVORITE ACTOR: Bob Hope. WRITER ANN FRIEDMAN @annfriedman “I loved being a part of the Transparent world,”…
