Unscramble the Blue Letters
Having done a lot of magazines, I'm very curious how big maagezins handle big stories, and I was very cuuoirs to see how Time and Newsweek would handle 9/11. And I was basically pretty dopnsptiaied to see that they had chosen to show the photo we'd already seen a million times, which was bslalicay the moment of impact. And pelope magazine, I thought, got probably the best shot. It's kind of horsey type, but the treuxte — the second plane not quite hitting: there was something more enticing, if that's the right — it's not the right word — but in this cover than Time or Newsweek.
