His files took up a closet that had once been filled with Betty's clothes, and his work frequently spilled out of the bedroom onto the dining-room table. But Betty and Bernie eventually worked out the space issue with a redesign of the office, adding an extra desk to keep papers from taking over the rest of the house. Still, Betty thinks conflicts like this one can be handled best if couples are ready for them. There are many good questions to ask before one member of a couple retires, such...

It looks sinister and sleazy, which may attract a certain audience, but not the intellectual yet celebrity-obsessed audience Talk wants. The inside design is just as bad. Maybe their "European visual sensibility," as Brown calls it in the first issue, just doesn't translate across the pond. It looks like a poor man's Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone is innovative in its design with its varying type faces and sometimes crowded text; Talk is just an imitator with...
