More than you know, your reading experience with this magazine is shaped by someone you seldom meet in these pages: Time Inc.'s editor-in-chief. His assignment is stunning in scope: guiding 154 magazines read by 173 million people around the globe. It is one of the great jobs in journalism, all the more storied because over the past 83 years it has changed hands fewer times than the papacy.

Seldom had a piece about antidepressants so explicitly challenged the reigning orthodoxy in the mainstream medical press, and it was hailed as a breakthrough by those who oppose what they see as disease mongering by the drug industry and other groups.
