Portrait of Danny DeVito wearing a dark blue sweater and grey pants

Our August/September issue featured Danny DeVito.

FUNNY AND SUNNY

Thank you for the refreshing and thorough cover story on Danny DeVito. You captured both his playful spark and the professionalism behind the scenes (particularly as a director) to bring us a three-dimensional portrait of a wonderful and talented man. I’m also grateful for the additional emphasis on the importance of connection to family and friends—connections that are relevant to everyone, not just Hollywood types.

NOW AND LATER

Healthier eating [“When Does Organic Matter Most?”] isn’t the only reason to buy organic products. I consider the higher price of organic eating as my contribution toward supporting farmers who are committed to improving the environment. We all deserve a cleaner future.

Thank you for “Too Good to Be True.” The tips and red flags were helpful. Knowledge is power.

SCHOOL DAYS

When I was in third grade our class regularly watched Reading Rainbow, so I was very interested to read about LeVar Burton in “What I Know Now”!

AMATEUR INTELLIGENCE?

As I was reading your money Upfront feature “The Amateur Advantage,” I kept thinking there was a significant new tool missing from this discussion of the advantages a nonprofessional investor has over professionals: AI. Indexing and identifying the right mix sounds simple on paper but leaves many questions unanswered. AI can at least help you understand the choices, compare alternatives, run scenarios, question assumptions and turn broad financial advice into something you can put to use.
