Rediscovering an old standby
I’ve been getting TIME
in the mail every week for a year now. I
impulsively subscribed, not having seen it much since my father read it
religiously when I was a kid. It used to be in friends’ houses too. And in the
doctor’s office where I’d go regularly to get an allergy shot around fifth
grade. I’m enjoying it. Sometimes I slip it in my back pocket and take it with
me to the new pizza joint on the corner. There’s good light there. You learn
more from it than from TV news.
We think we have to be on top of all the breaking news now. I suppose that’s natural. But there’s also a natural rhythm to, and reason for, a weekly magazine
like TIME. I recommend it, still.
