...addition, Gaines expanded the TIME franchise by introducing TIME FOR KIDS, TIME DIGITAL and such online services as TIME DAILY. Yet he never lost sight of the magazine's primary mission. Says Gaines: "The new wave of instant news via broadcast TV, cable and the computer has created not a problem for Time, but an opportunity. Having all this access to news does not mean that people today are better informed; it just means they are ill informed about more things. If I'm right, the most important news function on the information highway will not be the provision...
...world first caught sight of Timothy McVeigh on April 21, 1995. Shackled and escorted past the press and an angry crowd--McVeigh later told interviewers he had expected at that moment to be shot--he had just been charged as a suspect in the worst single instance of domestic terrorism in U.S. history: the bombing two days earlier of the Alfred P.

Moreover, the ads try to satirize American life's most overcaricatured theme, retro suburbia. Memo to Ogilvy & Mather: let them run down...
...HERE COMES MR. JORDAN: Michael, for some reason, decided the bright lights of Greenville, Huntsville, Knoxville, Jacksonville and the other villes of minor- league baseball were not for him. In a year of many happy returns, the renewed sight of Jordan--tongue and all--in a Bulls uniform was the most welcome. He gave the team a boost, unslumped the big shoulders of Chicago and demonstrated that even when rusty, he's still His Airness. The White Sox may have lost a fifth outfielder, but the planet regained its best basketball player...
