The following appears in the April/May issue of Commonwealth as “First Word.”

I challenged a friend of mine once, as we were beginning a four-hour, multi-state drive, to obey every single law – obey it to the point that even the most desperate small-town cop couldn’t find fault.

Tell us what you think!Can you take four minutes to tell us what you think of our magazine?

Every two years we like to take a read on our readers — that is, you. We want to know what you think of Commonwealth magazine.

We’ve put together a short survey that should take you all of about four or five minutes to fill out. (We’re talking 22 multiple-choice questions. No essays!)
