The Way We Were. Remember when newsmagazines were the big thing? I do. Time and Newsweek used to arrive on Tuesday, and I would spend hours that evening comparing and contrasting the way they covered the same stories (yes, I am that nerdy). Now that everything has moved online, I have access to more news but I read it less carefully. I miss those days of lying on my tummy, flipping through glossy pages for hours.
Anyway, here are thirteen Time covers from 1982. Hard to believe that was 40 years ago! It gives us a little window into what and who mattered to us, way back then.

ReplyDeleteWow. That one about the catalogues and not leaving the house - on the money, except wrong venue.
ReplyDeleteI feel like a remember a few of those, Reagen especially!
ReplyDeleteVery interesting. I used to LOVE TIme Magazine and even have a collection of Times from some important historical events. My first one was the resignation of Richard Nixon. I still have them. I think they may be worth some $$$ if I wanted to sell them, but I don't. Thanks for a fascinating post.
