It’s Tuesday morning's post July 4th fireworks of a menacing sort on Time’s “The War Next Door” cover, which shows a pair of wooden grave markers outside the Mexican border city of Juarez—murder capital of the world. The story explains why Mexico’s drug violence is America’s problem, too. Inside, Fareed Zakaria suggests how to avoid a Greek-style economic meltdown.
Meanwhile, Entertainment Weekly has a special “Thank You, Harry” collector’s double issue, with an 11-year-old Daniel Radcliffe on the cover and 50 pages recapping 10 years of Harry Potter magic--as well as a sneak peek at the final movie.
Billboard also has a special double issue (inside a “Luis Fonsi--The Leader of Latin Music’s New Generation is Back!” false cover ad) examining “States of Independence,” i.e., “how college radio, bloggers, a bidding war and a lost phone brought together [Seattle indie label] Sub Pop and the slow-burning, red hot [folk band] the Head and the Heart.” Inside features include Dolly Parton and “Myspace Music: the Fallout.”
Nice beach cover illustration on The New Yorker with a fence separating a cluster of beachcombers and a similar one of sea birds. The big story inside is Ken Auletta’s profile of “the woman behind Facebook” Sheryl Sandberg, which wonders if she can change the notorious boys’ club culture of Silicon Valley. There’s also David Remnick’s take on “The Future of Marriage.”
Finally, New York has Frank Rich’s big “Something Rotten: Obama’s failure to right the wrongs of the crash has haunted his presidency, and could undo it” piece, which is already getting played up this morning at Huffington Post.
