"Instant fame is one 'Columbine effect,' and TIME bestowed it on the shooters," wrote a Californian, who added, "You may inspire more killing." Echoing the point, a reader from Charlotte, N.C., declared, "A better headline for your cover would have been 'The Media Effect.'

"Sacco's innovative approach to journalism is a way to engage readers and allow them to visualize clearly the entire issue," wrote a Los Angeles reader. A TIME reader in Monroe, Conn., got pretty colorful himself: "Even the most highly educated readers may dive into this piece with the kind of youthful fervor they remember when buying the latest Archie comic book, though the West Bank is far from Riverdale, and you won't find Archie, Betty...
