# Newsweek

Lufthansa gave me a copy of Newsweek recently, and it was no good.

First of all, I don't like the first-line caps--it leads to really awkward breaks:

GM CHIEF DESIGNER ED
Welburn sweeps into his...

Or even worse:

HOME TO ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE COL-
lections of marine life in the world, the Coral Triangle...

Perhaps this reflects my personal (web-shaped?) typographic aesthetic, but there's stylistic sloppiness too. For example, you quite frequently get things like: &#8220;Sure, the vast majority of [European] workers already rely on their mobiles for everything from listening to music, to taking pictures, to watching pictures, to blogging.&#8221; They rely on their mobile phones? For blogging? Way to weaken a piece with lame-ass rhetorical exaggeration&#8230;

(<a href="http://msnbc.msn.com/id/12115700/site/newsweek/">Decent piece on the founders of the USA, and how they viewed religion</a>.)
