  • Be the smartest person you know.
As a teacher, I am always being asked for shortcuts to knowledge. My response is simple: "Subscribe to TIME and/or NEWSWEEK and read them religiously. In three years' time, you'll be the smartest person you know." I know that's not exactly true. What I mean by that bit of hyperbole is: you'll "appear" to be the smartest person you know because no one will be able to bring something up that you aren't at least AWARE of and can speak intelligently about (or at least ask an intelligent question.) Nearly every subject is covered by these great institutions--most of the time impartially. It comes with your name on the cover and entices you to open it. Who knows what you'll learn? I know that all this is available on the internet, but the distractions of the internet are irresistible, I may be old-fashioned, but there is no substitute for holding something in your hand. And nobody can edit it when you're not looking. Plus, the writers are professionals, not anonymous bloggers who face no repercussions for their inaccuracies. Many learners today are hard-pressed to find time among their activities to actually LEARN. TIME is a great shortcut to information which if used becomes knowledge which, when absorbed, eventually becomes wisdom. Wisdom will earn a decent salary and respect in your community.. OK, so you may not actually become the smartest person you know, but it's a start. ... show more

  • Thought provoking article about legalizing drugs!
There's an article in this week's "Time" magazine by Joe Klein. In the article, Klein writes about the five Republican candidates for President who gathered in South Carolina recently for their first official debate. Klein says the debate was newsworthy only because candidate Ron Paul came out in favor of legalizing heroin, cocaine and prostitution. Klein characterizes Paul's "willingness to go off the Libertarian deep end" as " ideological extremism." It sounds to me more like a practical solution, rather than a political one, to a very serious problem. More damage is caused by criminalizing these drugs than if they were controlled, regulated, and taxed. Making them illegal has not made them any less accessible. They're just as easy, and sometimes easier, to purchase as alcohol. By criminalizing them, all you've done is put them in the hands of drugs dealers, who sell them for many more times than their inherent value, thereby forcing addicts to commit crimes or whatever is necessary to obtain them. The main argument against legalizing these drugs is that easy accessibility will create more addicts which will create more chaos in society. But we know that easy accessibility of a drug does not create an addict. Has making alcohol legal created more alcoholics? You need only look at the success, or lack thereof, of prohibition to answer that question. If these drugs were legalized, there would be plenty of money that has been wasted on the DEA to use for prevention and treatment. The Drug Enforcement Agency could be turned into the Drug Treatment and Prevention Agency instead. What has the DEA achieved anyway? Could someone please answer that question for me? This is not "ideological extremism." It's a way of reducing harm to society, unless you're satisfied with the status quo: overcrowded prisons, destroyed lives, and more drugs on the street than ever before.

  • Time is a decent weekly, you get what you pay for
Time magazine does a good job providing a general summary of news events each week. I feel that many reviewers have unrealistic expectations for this magazine. At the time I am writing this review, Amazon is charging $20 for a yearly subscription to Time, which amounts to less than forty cents per issue. At this low price, I do not expect high quality journalism but a magazine that does a basic job at covering general news. For those seeking quality journalism, I recommend the economist, and the new yorker. By charging subscribers more, the economist has been able to afford to maintain and enhance the quality of its magazine. Keep in mind that a subscription to the economist is six times more than a subscription to Time magazine. At the time, I am writing this the magazine industry is experience record drops in advertising revenue, Time just announced layoffs. In light of all this, this magazine is doing its best to maintains its quality. Pros - Cheap - Provides a general overview - Has no annoying magazine inserts (my pet peeve) Cons - Lacks depth - Moderate amount of advertising ... show more

  • Very pleased
I must say that I am completely satisfied with my decision to purchase a subscription to TIME through Amazon. I received the first issue a mere 2 weeks after placing my order. I was pleasantly surprised by this, as it typically takes 6 weeks or more to get the first issue through most subscription services. I also like the fact that it is very easy to manage your subscription through Amazon. And at $30 a year, the price was unbeatable. I'll be using the service in the future to subscribe to a few more magazines. The magazine itself is not the TIME of the 1960s or '70s. Content is slimmer, but that is the case with virtually all magazines now. Still, I find the articles interesting, accessible and engaging. I also learn a lot about news of the day that the national news channels on TV don't report on. As someone who owns a Kindle, I did try the free two-weeks of the magazine on the device, but was left unsatisfied. TIME is more than just raw text. I do like the pictures and other side articles, graphs and charts that the Kindle doesn't reproduce. I felt that I was missing a lot by trying to read TIME on the Kindle. There is also an old-school aspect of a "real" magazine that I find appealing. As magazines continue to fold, I felt that I was doing my part to help keep afloat a part of what I fondly remember from my youth -- a magazine that I looked forward to receiving in the mail, and reading cover to cover. You just get that by reading raw text on a Kindle. ... show more

  • The Slow Death of a Once Proud Magazine
I have been a subscriber to TIME for over 15 years and before that a reader of my parents' subscription. It pains me to say that this magazine has forgotten what it is about. Frankly, the only issues worth their salt are those resulting from a major world event such as a natural disaster or a terror attack; such events seem to energize an otherwise listless staff of seemingly bored editors and newswriters. A newsweekly has the obligation to go beyond the newspapers--to use the extra couple days to provide a more balanced and analytical view. Unfortunately TIME fixes its editorial position at the beginning of a story--any future coverage is designed to prove TIME's initial position correct. The immediate taking of an editorial position is then carried into all future coverage of the event; stifling analysis and preventing any analytical development beyond the first few stories--"we told you so, we told you so." Even worse, the coverage of a lengthy story peters out until something sensational happens at which point the sensational event becomes the ultimate interpretation of the entire story. Can't the magazine occasionally admit it was wrong rather than turning its eye away from the story that continues to burn? Out of sight, out of mind is the mantra... In fact, I sometimes debate whether the decline of this magazine mirrors or outpaces the general decline in our media; newspapers are failing, television news can't seem to get away from the gory or sensationalistic, even academic journals have specialized themselves into irrelevance. We seem to have a greater appreciation for comedy than analysis. Neutrality is dead. Frankly, I don't care so much about any perceived editorial slant as I do about the fact that the magazine is increasingly boring and irrelevant. TIME used to have excellent coverage of trends and events outside of the United States--no more. Iran is building nuclear weapons but merits the occasional blurb on a world summary page. African states are making vast strides towards democracy, we get an article about Nigerian computer fraud. Russia is emerging from the turmoil of perestroika and its painful transition has much to teach about the costs and value of democracy, but we seem to focus only on the latest roadbomb in Iraq. Japan, one of the world's most influential cultures, this week merited only a snippet regarding a royal marriage and an analysis of foreign intrusion into sumo wrestling. Somewhere in the wide world is a fascinating place or culture to which TIME could send a correspondent and bring the place and people alive to its readership, instead we get tabloid excrement in the nature of Joel Stein's puerile take on pornography and social deviants. But most damning is the fact that after reading TIME one asks: How in the hell did our world become boring? Can TIME try emulating The Economist rather than The Enquirer? Someone needs to step in and restore the proud tradition of complete and in-depth coverage--educate the reader about the world in which we live; don't wait until either natural disasters or internal politics shine the spotlight on any of the various cultures and countries in which real and interesting events take place every single week. TIME has the history and potential of being a five-star magazine, if only it would just focus on finding and reporting the news. ... show more

  • Time is worth the money you spend.
Time magazine has and always will be a superb source for u biased news reporting. I grew up with time in its peak years around 96-04 and it has delivered reliable trustworthy articles “time” and again. Please consider this as a gift to the younger generation.

  • Lots of fluff
I was looking for a replacement for THE WEEK which got too expensive for me; TIME was reportedly centrist politically so I went for a $30/yr tryout: hoping for an overview of World news and news from around the US with commentary from "Left AND Right". There is a shortage of NEWS (much of which is is on 'sidebars where the print is smaller and faint) and an excess of PAGES-LONG articles that I have little or no interest in, think> Hollywood schtuff (I did enjoy the climate/oceans/mangrove articles). I would rather TIME used the pages to cover business trends, of which I see very little. Lots of advertising pages but I guess that's why the nice price; I can turn the page. ... show more
