the new frontline

The front cover of the European edition of Time magazine has a picture of Gordon Brown ('Voyager to the West'). Shame.

The front cover for the U.S., Asia and South Pacific issues is much better (left). It's not just the headline: 'How To Win The War on Global Warming'.

Nor is it the twist of replacing the iconic image of raising the flag at Iwo Jima with that of raising a tree.

No, Time magazine is demonstrating its commitment to all-things-green by replacing - for this one issue - it's 'trademarked' red border for a green one.
