"Wasn’t U.S. News a news magazine that used to be published? I haven’t read one in years."

My grandmother used to read USNWR at the doctor's office, but she's been dead since 1968.

Her doctor died in 1990.

I think I read that same issue at my doctor's office last week...

A local industry used to provide subscription to US News to all its managers and engineers. The y quit but I don’t know when.

Those people are all in their late 80’s now. The US News base is literally leaving this earth.

Who needs a news magazine anyway? By the time articles are published in Time, Newspeak, or US News they're at least a week old. You wouldn't want to eat week old bananas would you? Bloggers and discussion boards on the internet can evaluate stories in much greater depth with a greater array of expert opinion days before the news magazines are published.
