A Profound Thought From Jack 'Mandala' Shafer

I love when Shafer writes big. I wish he would cover a more interesting subject than journalism. Here is his epitaph for Newsweek:

We all die. The magazine graveyards teem with publications that stopped satisfying enough readers and advertisers. It will be a sad day for me when Newsweek joins them, because as a teenager in the 1960s, I depended on it for a full-throated account of a world beyond my dismal Midwestern home. But cheer up, readers! There isn't a minute that something new and wonderful isn't being born.
