...flag wearing strikes me as a tad inappropriate. There's plenty of flag waving going on but our job isn't to join it. Our job is to report what's happened and to ask questions. It's to explore the war effort, not to be a cheerleader for it; it's to explain the new national solidarity, not to help forge it. Others can do that. CNN's putting a flag on the screen or the broadcast networks using flags in their logos, like CBS's America Rising seem okay. TIME, for its part, put a little red-white...
...sell magazines shows true desperation," snapped a New Yorker. "You will only hasten its demise." A Seattle reader objected to "tabloid-news antics" and questioned why TIME "devoted a cover to shark attacks since, according to the article, dogs bite many thousands more people than sharks do." A tad more appreciative was a reader from Michigan who said he was "glad to see my lawyer made your cover...

...that anyone feeling woozy during a fast is merely suffering "an illusion of the mind." Hunger moves in cycles, they say. Pangs return after 4 hours, then 9, 18, 36, three days, one week, two weeks, three weeks and finally six weeks. For some, the treatments may sound a tad too fecal. "It may sound funny, but we need to love our s___," says founder Mel Loverh. Perhaps surprisingly, then, Loverh boasts of a "personal record of over 700 colonics." Courses cost from $150 for three-and-a-half days to $560 for nine days. Accommodation is brick...
