The Week Magazine

There is a lot of sharing of reading material among residents at Brookdale. We added many books to the facilities library while moving in last September. Occasionally our mail gets mixed up and that may have been how I saw "The Week" magazine for the first time. However, we and close neighbors, have exchanged it for our weekly Time magazine. We typically exchange them about the time the new issue arrives. The Week is a weekly news magazine with editions in the United Kingdom and United States. The British publication was founded in 1995 and the American edition started in 2001. The Publisher of the U.S. edition is John Guehl and William Falk the Editor-in-Chief. U.S circulation in June 2017 was 573,820. It is published by The Week Publications in New York City. This issue contains 40-pages which is about half of Time's normal number and a much more, "to the point" magazine. One of the main stories is this issue is "The blowback from Trump's summit with Putin". It stemmed from President Trump's initial comments concerning the discussion  in Helsinki on possible Russian involvement in the presidential election. He said, "President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today". This comment was interpreted by many including Trump supporters as his questioning information provided by U.S. Intelligence findings. The magazine gives a good 2-page summary of "The World at a glance..." and many other features which make it a very informative publication.
