LIGHTEN UP ON MAGS

Regarding the July 1 Daily Break article ``MagManifesto!'' Jenifer Dziura needs to lighten up!

I am a 20-year-old financial consultant and a longtime Cosmopolitan subscriber - it's my secret vice, along with watching ``Melrose Place.'' Cosmopolitan is trashy, amusing and gives out useful advice on beauty, fashion and sex.

What does Miss Dziura expect from magazines like Cosmo and Glamour? These mags are supposed to be fun!

You want deep, informative articles? Pick up a Scientific American.
