If I own The New Republic, I’m thoroughly embarrassed by two things this week:
1) That the February 16th edition features this ridiculously over-the-top cover:
2) That the February 16th edition contains exactly two – count ’em, two – ads among its 36 pages.
Just pathetic, all the way around the course.

Wasn’t it Newsweek that ran a cover photo of John MccAin with off-center lighting that made him look like the Keeper of the Crypt? (Oh, another thing: Gail Collins’ column today mentioned DOGMA, but no dogs.)
Can we make it a rule that we never get close enough to ANY candidate to see their pores?
Works for me, Mick.
I’ve seen publicity photos of well-known people where you can see this kind of detail — unretouched, even for the women.
I’m more afraid of those lower teeth… you would think that all that money, including Papa’s wealth, would’ve gotten him a top-notch orthodontist by now.
