...Reagan's mantle, Bob Dole met with the former president at his California home Wednesday. Dole spoke with Reagan, who suffers from Alzheimers disease, for 40 minutes and the former president was later described as alert, if a little subdued. Stressing the importance of this meeting, TIME's Barrett Seaman says it is critical for Dole to capture as much of the Reagan mystique as possible. "Reagan represents getting people together," says Seamen. "That is something Republicans have lost control of since 1992.

...Navy Seaman Marcus Gill told a Japanese courtroom that he did not force two Marines to join an attack on a 12-year-old Japanese schoolgirl.

When the trial opened November 7, Harp and another Marine, Kendrick Ledet, acknowledged that they had helped plan and carry out the rape. Navy Seaman Marcus Gill pleaded guilty to raping the girl. Today, Harp's wife, Denitrease, asked the court to forgive her husband and apologized to the girl, her family, the people of Japan and the United States. The men could face life sentences, although lighter punishment is expected...
...keeping with the graphic innovation of the new technologies, Eisenberg and Seaman put a premium on making Time Digital visually engaging. Thanks to design director Janet Waegel and picture editor Jay Colton, the magazine has a lively mix of graphic styles, irreverent headlines and pictures and charts that depart refreshingly from their customary positions on the page. Eisenberg and Seaman also insisted that stories not succumb to technohype. Says Seaman: "We were determined not to be breathless cheerleaders for all things digital." Thus, among other heretical stories, you'll read about how technological change is not necessarily good news...
