There is a list of contenders again for the Time Magazine “Person of the Year”. Apparently, they either want
to give them all a bit of credit, or else they can’t make up their minds. And
if it’s the latter, might I suggest the following: Have a picture of all the
candidates on the cover in a circle, where the photographs are shaped like
slices of pie. Then, put an arrow in the middle that we can spin around like a
game of chance (like Wheel of Fortune, or Spin the Bottle), and let us all have hours of fun playing the
game to see who wins (after all, we wouldn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings,
now would we?). And then we can all gamble on it, like Roulette. Maybe it could
even have the magazine open up automatically to the story about the one the
arrow ends up pointing at, like those automatic alphabetized telephone number
organizers that let you pick a letter and open up to it.
