The most eagerly awaited event in the editorial cycle at TIME Magazine is always the selection of the cover. The best covers capture the zeitgeist of the week while surviving the judgment of history. As browsing this collection of TIME cover art prints shows, TIME is as good a record as any of who and what mattered over the past 80-plus years. And so when TIME captures a person, an event or a trend within its iconic red borders, the magazine is adding that extra dose of significance that no other publication can quite match. That is one reason why the original artwork for more than 800 TIME covers now resides in the National Portrait Gallery in Washington. Thanks to an amazing roster of artists, photographers and graphic designers, from TIME's earliest charcoal drawings of cover subjects to its later black-and-white photography to the more recent paintings and stunning color photography, TIME covers have always been, sometimes quite literally, works of great art. And, while the times may change, the TIME cover, with its iconic red border, has never lost its power to immediately send the signal that this person or event or idea is important to our lives, that in some way history is being made before our eyes. |

You wouldn't think a movie that uses the game of golf as a metaphor for class struggle could be so entertaining. The Greatest Game Ever Played stars the charming Shia LaBeouf (Holes) as Francis Ouimet, a golfer who, in 1913, rose from caddy to U.S. Open champion at the age of 20--despite the resistance of the powers that be, who thought it unseemly for a lower-class plebian to play the sport of gentlemen. Ouimet's main competitor is Harry Vardon (Stephen Dillane, The Hours), a British professional, still considered one of the greatest players of all time, who fought his own class battles. The two go head to head in a genuinely gripping match, deftly balanced against the juxtapositions of their personal struggles. Is it sentimental and formulaic? Is the outcome a foregone conclusion? Yes, but it doesn't matter--formulas exist because, when executed with verve and dexterity, they work. Bill Paxton, best known as an actor (One False Move, Apollo 13), steps into the director's chair and hits all the right notes, aided by an excellent cast playing colorful characters, a vivid recreation of the time period, glowing cinematography, and an expert pace. The Greatest Game Ever Played works. --Bret Fetzer |

Birthstone Beauties Collection! September Miss Sapphire! Happy Birthday, September baby! Miss Sapphire Barbie doll and a wonderful princess puppy bring you happy wishes for a fun-filled year! Brilliant blue, your birthstone is the sapphire. This gem is thought to give you a year of peace, truth, and prosperity. It is also believed that the stone brings you comfort, courage, and strength! History: What does your birthstone reveal about your life? Does it stand for a light heart and enduring affections? Glamour and regal elegance? Or even the gifts of health, wealth, and wisdom? If you want the answers, then check out the fabulous new Birthstone Beauties Collection, a new series of Pink Label dolls celebrating the precious gems symbolizing the months of our birthdays! With each doll named for the faux gemstones on their dazzling necklaces (Miss Emerald Barbie doll for May, Miss Sapphire Barbie doll for September, and so forth), the collection is inspired by the gifts of precious jewelry given throughout the ages. Though many sets of birthstones have appeared in different times, and across different cultures, the current calendar year list dates back 95 years. The Jewelers Of America, a national association for the retail jeweler, officially adopted the list followed by the Birthstone Beauties in 1912. And with the exception of a few stones added as less expensive substitutes for certain cut stones, these gems have stood the test of time, and their beauty is no less stunning to behold today. Each Birthstone Beauties doll wears a glittery lace dress with bolero jacket and sassy strapless heels, in shades designed to complement the necklace with faux gemstone pendants and matching earrings. And then they mix it up, each doll features a different combination of hair color and style, eye color, make-up and nail polish! But the cutest part isn't an accessory, it's the well-behaved princess puppies with each of the Birthstone Beauties, with matching leashes, collars, and cro |
