MICHAEL NASSAR
is a writer and producer
in Manhattan who
moonlights for Show-
time, working on
“Dexter” and “Home-
land,” among other
series. Despite a lifelong
fondness for foie gras,
Nassar hasn’t been
able to look at pâté in
the same way since
meeting the famed
Peabody ducks for his
article “The Walk of
Game” (page 26).
RoadWarriors
AT VARIOUS TIMES
over the years, I’ve go en a
Ford sedan stuck in amuddy field in Pennsylvania,
nearly destroyed a tiny Toyota in the jungles of
CostaRica, runaSubaruagroundona frozensnow-
bank inMassachuse s and repeatedly forgo en to
bringmusic or food on long drives through remote
places. No surprise, then, that I benefited greatly
from this month’s “The Rules of the Road,” editor
at largeSamPolcer’smanual/travelogue inspiredby
his drive up the East Coast in aCorve e. Road trips
takeonapracticallyholydimension inAmerica, and
following Sam’s sage advicewill ensure you get the
most fromyours. Plus, to round out our RoadTrips
issue we take a look at the making of the McLaren
MP4-12C—a.k.a. the world’s greatest supercar—a
street-legal beast built on long-banned racing
technology. Buckleup!

CONTRIBUTORS
JOHANNAGOODMAN
is a New York artist who
has created portraits
for such publications as
Time
and the
Wall Street
Journal
, and who now
adds country star Kenny
Chesney to her list of
subjects (“The
Hemi
Q&A,” page 76). “I never
get tired of studying
someone’s face and
translating it into paint,”
she says. “Or ink. Or cut
paper. Or whatever I can
get my hands on.”
NICK HALL
is a Seattle-
based photographer
whose clients include
the Nature Conservancy
and
Outside
and
Ski
magazines. As an
Englishman, he loves
the rain and clouds that
bless Seattle. But during
his Three Perfect Days
shoot in the city (page
94), the sun actually
came out, Hall reports—
then quickly adds, “Shh!
Don’t tell anyone it gets
sunny here.”
