Light Monday with all the double-issues from last week, but Time's in with a "What recovery?" cover, a torn dollar bill depicting "the five myths about the economy," i.e., the downturn is a temporary blip, the Fed can save us, the private sector will make it all better, we can move where the jobs are and entrepreneurs are our greatest strength. Of major interest, too, may be the inside piece on E. Coli ("Is a U.S. outbreak coming?") and "Faith in the Arab Spring."
The Eonomist, meanwhile, shows a pensive Barack Obama standing tall over his squabbling Republican challengers while thinking out loud "…and yet I could still lose."
Entertainment Weekly's cover goes to the week's top-grossing Super 8, with J.J. Abrams and Steven Spielberg discussing "their cool retro thriller" along with "growing up geeky" and their passion for movies. The ish also presents its "summer TV preview."
The Hollywood Reporter offers an "Emmys 2011 Drama Actor Rountable" with best actor contenders Tom Selleck, Michael C. Hall, Timothy Olyphant, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi and Andre Braugher. "Emmy speech ghostwriter" Kathy Griffin is also highlighted, as is "The confessions of Keith Olbermann."
Billboard's covers may be graphically striking, but they're getting hard to read--much to our irritation. And no, it's not because we used to work there for 25 years! A Selena Gomez pinup pose on a ships steering wheel goes with the question: "Can [she] steer clear of the post-Disney curse?" But the only inside story you don't have to strain your neck to read is the "Nashville Scene: Country Summit wrap-up."
Finally, hip-hopper Lupe Fiasco takes the cover of Jet, but in light of last night's clinching of the NBA Finals by the Dallas Mavericks, the inside bit on Lebron--"Was it worth it?"--is no doubt being echoed by Miami Heat fans, much to the delight of us Knicks backers.
