It's pretty freaky when readers of a chick's fashion magazine get deeper and more informative NEWS stories than readers of "news" magazines like Time and Newsweek!

Notice how Ted K. bears no resemblance to her picture of the Unabomber.
Guess at what I'm trying to say.
H-el-l-o-!

I read this article, it was pretty good. I was surprised they allowed her to mention the non-fanatical-right-wing-wacko that might have helped McVeigh.

Las summer, with the impending execution of Timothy McVeigh -- convicted for his role in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing -- she publicly suggested that the FBI had ignored the existence of at least two other accomplices. While this is old news to many FReepers, at least it is getting some exposure in the media, even if it's a women's magazine.

>...at least it is getting some exposure in the media, even if it's a women's magazine.These women's magazines are read by LOTS of people! Their ad rates are astronomical.
And ELLE has been around for a LONG time.
I wonder if this is the _start_ of more media attention to OKC. This article even mentioned that one of the guys seen with McVeigh appeared to be his "boss!"
Great stuff! (But, you know, even though I know what a large audience these women's magazines have, it still makes me shake my head -- what's next -- an _real_ expose of TWA-800 in Vogue?! (It would be better than nothing...))

Magazines like that are read by a lot of people- and they stay around waiting rooms forever, so many may see this, and ask questions.
This guy:
james.patterson@indystar.com
has been writing about OKC... might be worth sending him a link.

>Magazines like that are read by a lot of people- I just got around to checking out the publisher of ELLE. It is published in America, but it is OWNED by a giant French media conglomerate.
They are Hachette Filipacchi. Their website boasts that they are active "...in 33 Countries on 5 Continents." In the US, here they publish about a dozen other magazines, most well known. Here are their other magazines (one search engine lists "George" as well, but I don't know if that's true):
AUTOMOTIVE
Car and Driver
Cycle World
Road & Track
ENTHUSIAST
American Photo
Boating
Mobile Entertainment
Flying
Popular Photography
Premiere
Sound & Vision
Travel Holiday
SHELTER
Elle Décor
Home
Metropolitan Home
WOMEN
Elle Girl
Elle
Woman's Day
Sounds like a company with a heck of a lot of resources behind them. And since it's French, any kind of political content in their magazine raises some interesting questions and possibilities.

That *is* very interesting! I meant to add the point that in advertising terms, a magazine is "non-volatile." ( unlike, say, a radio ad that is gone as soon as you hear it )
One problem with the web is a lot of people never see the stuff that's on it- even here, I rarely check back more than a few hundred posts at best. It's easy to miss things. Another minor point is that some people put more "belief" in a printed article- it's more "real" if someone bothered to print it.

Yes, they co-financed "George", and watched over its sad demise.
