...amazed and pleasantly surprised by your cover on the Green Bay Packers. Here, finally, the whole U.S. could read the proud story of the small Midwestern town and its fans recapturing greatness. Green Bay's down-home friendliness was showcased and applauded. Then I caught a tiny blurb in the paper that burst my bubble. TIME ran two regional versions of its magazine. The one featuring the Green Bay Packers on the cover was distributed only in Wisconsin and Minnesota. The rest of the U.S. got a cover featuring a bereaved and saddened Bill Cosby.

Klug won the first-ever 100% rating from Paul Tsongas and Warren Rudman's Concord Coalition for his record as a deficit hawk. The former Madison TV news anchor has emerged as another successful Midwestern politician who has taken power with conservative fiscal policies and moderate social ones. He has broken with the G.O.P. to support family leave and health-care legislation, and his formerly liberal constituency has re-elected him twice by a large margin...
