...major airports across the U.S., TIME outsells every other magazine. For some issues in recent months, the newsstand sale has run more than 50% above the same week in the previous year (see illustrations...

Since then, the rumor that Newsweek is for sale has cropped up with a persistence that has defeated the magazine's continued efforts to deny it.
