Time’s burning red cover has a London looter staring at us in depicting “the decline and fall of Europe (and maybe the West).” Inside, Fareed Zakaria explains why liberals are wrong about Obama; another feature asks, Does the GOP need Perry? Newsweek pictures five surgical hands ready to scalpel open an anxious patient in illustrating the “one word that will save your life,” that is, “No!”—the point being that some common tests and procedures “aren’t just expensive, but can do more harm than good.” Inside Obama apparently has a “black problem,” and Jane Fonda assures us that there is joy in sex after 70.
Entertainment Weekly has a double-issue fall movie preview featuring Breaking Dawn, Sherlock Holmes 2 and “all the buzz” on 98 new films.
Billboard brings us the return of Coldplay (“finally”), but also has a report on the destruction of London’s Sony distribution warehouse during the rioting. On the other hand, it offers a special feature on the surprising recovery of Japan’s music industry in the wake of that country’s disasters this year.
Hollywood Reporter takes on “The Business of Fantasy Football” with San Diego Charger Antonio Gates and obsessed player Paul Rudd. Inside’s a feature on what men watch when they’re not playng fantasy football, with American Idol leading the broacast TV shows, WWE Raw on cable (ESPN’s their fave network).
Finally, we dig the Bloomberg Businessweek cover for its Popularity Issue, which covers a model with 34 popular items, including Tide detergent, French’s mustard and Oreo cookies. Same with The Economist, whose “Reviving the world economy” cover plays on Dutch masters group portraits, here a group of doctors—and one central banker—about to administer electric shock to bring an economic stiff back to life.
