The Virtue of Selfishness
OUR COVER:
How long will the media allow documentary filmmaker Michael Moore to get away with his lies when they are, uh, as plain as the nose on his face? That’s what art director David Sims wants to know in his witty depiction of this award-winning flim-flam man. Which reminds Your Editor of the man who’s been winning awards lately for a different fraudulent documentary. But David promises to save a future cover for Mr. Gore.
