Covers spotlight the hottest celebrity du jour, reflecting viewer interest.
Interest translates to the entertainment industry's bottom line and top priority, ratings.
The sight of God's holy name writ large against clouds and a blue sky on the cover was a shock, understood only when I read articles in the magazine and a poll it conducted among adults nationwide.

It will be humanistic rather than religious. T he success of the spiritually oriented series Touched by an Angel required Hollywood to confront the unthinkable.
