(Credits: Time has a wonderful database of its covers. Newsweek doesn’t have anything close (if they do, please let me know), but if you dig, you can find a page that displays all the current year’s covers. Thanks to a newsstand at the BWI Airport that displayed the May 5 Time and Newsweek SARS covers next to the amazingly clone-like covers of that week’s US News & World Report and The Economist, the experience that gave me this idea. Thanks to legendary Dorothy Kalins (who I hope will forgive me) for mentioning those May 5 covers in a presentation which reminded me I had forgotten to blog them. Thanks to Bill Hudgins who kept e-mailing me examples of what he calls the Time-Newsweek merger. Thanks to that two-hour flight I had yesterday on which I finally had the time to mess around with the code to display this.)
