Time Magazine’s Pistorius Cover

By Zeusdreamcaster @rhmadi

This week’s Time magazine has one of those striking cover images that bears all the hallmarks of being one that will live on for years to come.

Though “Man. Superman. Gunman” refers, quite obviously, to Oscar Pistorius, the very lengthy article considers the wider topic of South Africa‘s culture of violence

The magazine’s Africa bureau chief, Alex Perry, takes an in-depth look at the country’s complicated history with race relations, inequality and violence.

It also happens to be Time’s 90th anniversary: it was launched on 3 March 1923. Joel Stein wishes the magazine a, sort of, happy birthday here.
