She ruined The New Yorker, absolutely trashing the highest remaining standard of editing and publishing in American mass media at the time, for the Newhouse syndicate. She has a reputation to uphold, as the trashiest snark of her generation in print. Don't be surprised if she does so.Carter Nicholashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12781069361506897917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-48268950178545955462011-07-11T14:49:00.678-04:002011-07-11T14:49:00.678-04:00I remember many years ago saving an article which ...I remember many years ago saving an article which showed how famous people would look in 20 years' time. Alas, I lost the article. I did however find a secondhand book of closely written 1980 predictions by various "experts" about what life could be like in the 21st century. The only slightly creepy thing is one commentator thought that a boy was then growing up in the Middle East who would entirely change the face of international relations. But perhaps that was a reasonable thing to assume, even then. <br /><br />Other than this, they didn't really even predict such widespread use of computers, let alone the internet.Jenny Woolfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881781466502273314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-43755159160275615102011-07-11T14:11:56.414-04:002011-07-11T14:11:56.414-04:00Oh dear--Gaye, I'm afraid this time I must dis...Oh dear--Gaye, I'm afraid this time I must disagree with you. I was astounded by the Newsweek "what if" cover of an older Diana with Kate. OF COURSE she lives in our memories, as young as when she left us. But, just imagine...if she *were* with us today...stylish, fit, smiling, proud of her sons and their accomplishments, happy to have acquired a "daughter." Doing good and visiting us regularly in the pages of Vogue, Vanity Fair and People. It wrenches the heart as it thrills the imagination. Yes, I can see the other side of the debate: questionable taste, disrespect to her memory, etc. As an artist (and avid Harry Potter fan) I have quite a lot of imagination and I adore make believe, so maybe I'm more susceptible to entering into the spirit of the Newsweek cover. It will take its place with my other Diana memorabilia.Dianehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044021227952639108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-44978733594614154272011-07-11T13:41:58.204-04:002011-07-11T13:41:58.204-04:00It's not as bad as the RFK alive at 86 coverag...It's not as bad as the RFK alive at 86 coverage — http://splitsider.com/2011/07/an-apology-from-the-editor-by-charlie-nadlerCharlie Nadlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415623607229528710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3498357134928699381.post-71702197769513856782011-07-11T10:51:11.884-04:002011-07-11T10:51:11.884-04:00Wonderful post.

Completely wrong and it very poor taste. <br /><br />Diana does live in our memory just as she was when she died. How dare that ridiculous Tina Brown? Tasteless and insensitive. Completely wrong in every way; in my opinion!<br /><br />Great post!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
