What does being person of they year in a dying magazine mean? Literally the magazine has turned into a pamphlet. I remember when it was a thick magazine with robust articles. Those days appear gone. Newsweek no longer publishes and only time before this is done.

in agreement.

We don't get so much of the European news, but she has been politically courageous in the heat of a number of political and financial battles. I also find it agreeable at how the world has changed when we have a German citizen, yea leader, as a global example of peace and humanity.

should not start. It's silly to think that they would. Sitting Presidents, sure. But not candidates during an election.
