...most important parts of TIME'S editorial process is the discussion, the argument that often is heated. Certainly everybody who works for TIME (and who reads TIME) does not agree with all the views in all the stories. "But I believe," says Editor-in-Chief Luce, "that every journalist who works for us feels more individual freedom and responsibility because he knows basically where we stand.
