I haven't looked at _Time_ in decades, but I suspect most people on this list have no real idea of how absolutely vicious _Time_ was under Luce. I would think the current _Time_ couldn't be any worse. And as disgusting a paper as the Chicago Tribune is now, it certainly is superior to the Tribune of the wacky Colonel.
