Not if you've got money to spend. Saturday's Wall Street Journal will include a new quarterly lifestyle magazine called WSJ. — yes, with a period, just to annoy Owen. What's in it?

• An article on the America's Cup feud.
• A story about rare mushrooms.
• A piece on "canine couture."
• Sarah Palin's exercise habits. This lucky article was done before she was selected as John McCain's running mate. But it doesn't mention her VP candidacy.
• Ads by Versace, Dior, Credit Suisse, and Swiss luxury watchmaker Audemars Puget.
• Tons of stuff you'll never be able to buy. Deal with it.

The Gale Bradley Singers will show up in full Dickensian dress to sing four-part carols for an hour ($450) or two ($600).
