It’s “the future of fish” on the cover of Time this week, picturing one poor specimen definitely out of water below the question, "Can farming save the last wild food?" Otherwise, Joe Klein suggests it’s time to revamp Head Start, and with the final Harry Potter movie premiering in New York tonight, there’s a piece on “the alternate universe of fan fiction,” i.e., fans of the books who write and post stories and even novels based on them.
Newsweek beats what would seem to have been a dead horse in its “I can win” “exclusive” Sarah Palin cover, especially since there's still no decision yet from Palin, so it’s just more idle conjecture. Meanwhile, Watergate exposer Carl Bernstein gives us his take on “Murdoch’s Watergate,” and Ralph Fiennes offers up his Harry Potter two cents in “My life as Voldemort.”
Fortune’s “Global 500” issue fronts “Tech Bubble 2.0—Sky-high valuations for companies like Facebook, Zynga, and Linkedin have Silicon Valley feeling déjà vu all over again,” illustrated by a kid’s gum bubble exploding all over his face. For its “Back to the coffee house” special report on the future of news, The Economist goes with a funny fantasy illustration of an old-time news room, circa 1776, but with the staffers pounding away at laptops.
Finally, New York’s “Eat Cheap” double issue brings us back to Square One, what with its “Who’s killing all the fish? The Fishermen?” inside story.
