Where to find Intelligent Writing and Communication?

I am studying for the MCAT and as of right now what gives me the most problems is the verbal section. I know that if I read more magazines or websites with intelligent writing and communication then I will hopefully improve my score. Where can I find these though? I read The Economist, which is interesting, but I want more things like that. Basically, where can I find intelligent writing and communication, basically people's opinions, in magazines and websites besides The Economist?Where to find Intelligent Writing and Communication?
Drew, I've got my wife here. She is in medical school and of course had to study for the MCAT. I've asked her your question. Her response is as follows:



"Don't spend a lot of time reading. Spend most of your time answering questions that would be on the verbal section. Get a Kaplan course book that would have those questions in it. The same goes for the other sections as well. Spend half of your time studying and half of your time answering board style questions. And time yourself taking practice tests, because there is a time limit per section."



As you can see she didn't put much value on that, but I remember she was reading the Wall Street Journal. You might want to think about the New Yorker Magazine as well.

Atlantic Monthly?
Try looking at these websites. They have links to current dissuasion's and issues about many different topics. Most of these are very well written and tend to be a bit more "meaty" than even the Economist.

I really enjoy reading Discover magazine. They cover a large variety of subjects, and many of their articles are very in-depth about subjects that range from dark matter to tectonics. I love that there is such a diversity of articles on topics like archeology, biology, sociology, paleontology, and countless more. There is a monthly interview of an expert on the cutting edge of some breaking discovery, and a monthly article by a medical professional detailing the diagnosis and treatment of some really unusual cases. Very fascinating reading!
