Topic 5 of 45 [media]: Time, Newsweek and US News - the newsweekly item

I teethed on TIME, almost literally. My grandfather saved up a short stack and brought them to me. We never had enough reading material (if there is such a quantity) in those days. Later I subscribed to Newsweek, because the price was considerably nicer. A couple of years ago I got a "professional rate" offer and went back to TIME.
The style is not so stiff as when "backwards ran sentences until reeled the mind."
Post-election special was outstanding.
Over the years TIME writers described Louis Armstrong's singing voice as "gravel in a malted machine" and reporters as newshawks or newshens depending on the gender. And a TIME letter-to-the-editor quoted "The Episcopal Song" in full-- noting that it is sung to "God Bless America." Super. I'll quote the whole thing at the drop of a hat, and furnish the hat if necessary.
So yes, it's true. TIME brings all things. And wounds all heels?
