Since the date on a magazine is the last day it's available at the newsstand, I'd think 2 weeks is a good estimate.
And I do remember that the media got the bulk of GWB's military records on Feb 13th.
I'm reading more of the article. According to Evan Thomas GWB arrived at Harvard "with a chip on his shoulder".
~rolling my eyes~
Discharged from the Navy in 1970, John Kerry was racked with nightmares about his time in combat. He grew his hair and joined Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Some of the vets, most of whom were working class, resented the patrician Kerry. A VVAW leader named Scott Camil told The Boston Globe that a vet tried to reach Kerry at home and was told by someone, presumably a maid, "Master Kerry is not at home." At the next meeting, someone hung a sign on Kerry's chair that read, FREE THE KERRY MAID.
LOL
How did that precious term escape our notice all this time?!
But look at this demonstrably false assertion:
Like combat veterans of any war, Kerry did not talk much about his time under fire for many years. "I've known him for 35 years," Sen. Edward Kennedy told NEWSWEEK, "and he would never talk about the war."
Really.
