The New Yorker has a similar erased-out bin Laden illustration to go with coverage from Steve Coll, Lawrence Wright, Dexter Filkins, Jon Lee Anderson and Eliza Griswold. Inside stories also include "How does Pixar do it?" and "Alexander McQueen's tragic talent."
New York offers opposing Osama/Obama takes from Kurt Andersen/John Heilemann, and follows Out's recent feature on Justin Vivian Bond with its own "Between the sexes" look, along with a "Dressing Gaga" feature. But the cover goes to Wesley Wang's "Asian Like Me," with text beneath a faceless pair of eyes stating: "Here is what I suspect my face signifies to other Americans: an invisible person."
Even Entertainment Weekly goes bin Laden with George Stephanopoulos's "When the bin Laden story broke…." But Johnny Depp, in full Pirates 4 regalia, is on the cover, to go with his "How to build a better pirate" interview. The mag also plays up its "Mel Gibson goes crazy--this time in a movie" review of The Beaver: "This is high-quality work from a professional who…has recently sunk to terrible lows in his nonprofessional life."
Fortune fronts America's 500 largest corporations and takes us deep inside Apple, "from Steve Jobs to the janitor"; Forbes is a little more personal, with Dylan Lauren--Ralph's daughter--on the "Like father, like daughter" cover that also asks "Is entrepreneurial success inherited?"
The Hollywood Reporter wonders, re "Bin Laden, the movie," "Who'll get there first." Otherwise, its "Cannes Issue" has Penelope Cruz on the cover to go with its "Pirates 4 Takes the Croisette" cover.
Finally, Billboard goes with a "Cloud Control" cover, with white helium balloons lifting a cloud player into the sky. Pertinent stories inside include "Access vs. ownership--the new relationship between music buyer and seller" and "A post-MP3 world--FLAC files and the future of audiophile."
