Monday morning magazine roundup

Time’s 10th annual History Issue runs The Constitution through a paper shredder and asks “Does it still matter?” Inside Joe Klein reports that Obama’s drawdown in Afghanistan pleases no one, but worse is the revelation that a beetle is eating America.

Speaking of history, the Royal Wedding is so over that it’s time to dust off Diana, which editrix Tina Brown does in her “Diana at 50—If she were here now” cover—accompanied by an illustration projecting a now Diana with Kate. The double ish also highlights the “revolt of the Obama fan club.”

Obama is the focus of The New Yorker's "Obama and Afghanistan" examination, but the big feature is “The Love Code,” i.e., the “formula” for sex and love being refined by programmers, mathematicians and psychologists at work on ever more sophisticated online dating sites. The cute July 4 cover illustration, though, shows a doggie leaning out the window and looking down at a sea of flags.

Entertainment Weekly has a “gory and gothic” True Blood preview on its three “collector’s covers” and also hypes a sneak peek at Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit and Tom Hanks’ account of “surviving a global movie promo tour.” The Hollywood Reporter, meanwhile, identifies “late night’s unsung hero” as cover boy Jimmy Kimmel, looking smart outside his Hollywood Boulevard offices and hanging with a bunch of street performers. The summer double issue also makes note of its midyear box-office report, and more important, “who plays golf where.”

Finally, Billboard’s got Jill “I understand this industry” Scott on the cover (she’s back with major live plans, a new deal with Warner Bros. and the best album debut of her career) and wonders if Sony Music’s CEO Doug Morris will catch rival major UMG.
