- ghaff 8y agoI'm not sure why some people felt that was an unfair comment. I remember discussions in the late 70s (in a journalism class) over why you'd have these coincidental covers in Time and Newsweek.And the answer was basically that everyone was from the same background so of course they were seeing and hearing the same things. I've been a Time subscriber in various ways for decades. It used to be the primary way that I ingested news. But times (ahem) have changed.
- wahern 8y agoFrom the article, The culture was so “Mad Men,” even at the height of the feminist movement, that my boss felt free, when we worked late closing the magazine on Fridays nights, taking all the young male writers out to dinner at the steakhouse downstairs without a thought that they were walking past the offices of the only two women in the hall — me and my friend, the late Susan Tifft. Susan, a staunch feminist, confronted the boss. But we never did get to that steakhouse.
