I think it's "time" to revive this thread. [edit: since the first one was getting too long, which was the point of starting a second one]
This week:
Time cover: "Alcohol and the Brain"
Newsweek cover: "God and the Brain"
If you meld the two editorial boards, do you get Pravda?*

*Faldage, you (or any other Russian-knowers I'm unaware of [sic]) win a prize if:
a. You can spell it in Cyrillic;
2. AWAD software recognizes said Cyrillic;
thorn. Mister Mac doesn't crash upon trying to interpret.

It's impressive to see that the above post on cover stories, both current this week, met with such interest here that it struck my fellow AWADers dumb. I must admit to a factual error, however: the second cover is not that of Time, but rather of US News and World Report. They all start looking alike to me after a while, especially after this week. Faldage, you win by default, even though that looks like faux Russian to me.

Ah, a couple of spirited discussions!
Some years ago there was an ad for a Las Vegas excursion in my local rag, the Portland Oregonian, which read, "Gambler's fly free." What, a gold-plated zipper?

Or, Geoff, just gambling on the results of having an open one?

From the July 10 edition of The New York Post
"It sounds like Mr. Ferrer is stuck in reverse on an expressway to the past," said Giuliani spokeswoman Sunny Mindel.

"It sounds like Mr. Ferrer is stuck in reverse on an expressway to the past," No, no - if Mr Ferrer is "stuck," he ain't agoing no-where. The "reverse" reference is, surely, to his preferred or potential direction, not his actual progress, which is zilch.
