Is This The New Time Dean Article?
I haven't picked up a copy yet, so I can't look at them side by side. Also notice that there's several related articles linked at the side.

The cool passion of Dr. Dean
By John Cloud/Portsmouth
Monday, August 4, 2003 Posted: 5:55 PM EDT (2155 GMT)

The other day 600 people, give or take, showed up in Portsmouth, N.H., to see Dr. Howard Dean III talk about why he wants to be President.

True, they were plied with bowls of coffee cake and just-melting ice cream, but it's still something for so many to rally on a hot weekday six months before the New Hampshire primary. At first the former Vermont Governor couldn't talk for all the cheering. Finally he was able to utter just one word before being drowned out: "Zounds!"

Zounds? Zounds is an old word, a fine word, a word with a pedigree. Iago says it in the opening lines of Othello; it was the 17th century's whoa. But it's not the first word one expects to hear from the "maverick" (USA Today), "insurgent" (Los Angeles Times), "fiery" (New York Observer) self-proclaimed leader of "the Democratic wing of the Democratic Party," the great repository of hope -- and donations -- from the antiwar, anti-Bush, pro-gay, Michael Moore left. Even so, the Anglophile locution sounded quite natural coming from Dean's thin Wasp lips.

While many other prominent Democrats are angular and reserved in their posture and their positions -- Senator Kerry, he of the long, elegant suits and well-modulated speech, comes to mind -- Dean cannot be anything but the exuberant, stocky ex-high school wrestling captain, a guy whose neck -- what there is of it -- strains over his collar.

1. Sheesh, what a piece of crock.
I've never liked TIME but this article looks like a peice of $hite. I'm not even sure why they took the time to even put him on the cover if they just wanted to insult him with loaded words and unfair assumptions.

2. That's probably "why"....so they could try and set Dean up
big time for all the World to see what they think of him!

I hear "Newsweek"( which I've always thought had a modicum of taste) was more fair.

Whatever! Dean isn't corporatist and they are.

3. I thought I was reading the new article but was reading something else
But after reading over the article you've posted, it doesn't seem so bad. Nobody will remember this article in a few months, but they will remember Howard Dean's name. That's the most important part: the free publicity.

6. That's what I thought
I read this one yesterday and liked it better. Although the one in this thread doesn't seem too horrible to me. (It does have low points)

Today's WP piece is *the best*. And they had one yesterday, too!
