Only TIME gets what he calls the filter treatment. He goes through the magazine line by line, cover to cover every week, noting every new word and term and the context in which it is used.

A thin smile formed around his non-filter cigarette as he banged out on his balky machine the fire-breathing tag to the next day's scathing editorial. Hodding Carter, 30-year-old crusading editor of the Delta Democrat-Times, knee-deep in the mire called Mississippi, clawing at the Magnolia Curtain...
