The cover of People Magazine.
I was visiting my friend who lives in a senior condos building. She gets some of the popular magazines passed along to her by other residents of the building. We are having lunch and she holds up a People Mag and she's pissed. She asks if I can see what's wrong with the cover. It has Bob Saget on the cover. She had to point out to me that of the people on the cover who passed and they are paying tribute to Sir Sidney Poitier is up in the far right-hand corner while Bob Saget is front and center and also much larger print, in other words where the eye was immediately drawn. I had to agree once I even noticed it that although Bob Saget has made contributions to the public culture, the person who has made the largest contribution to entertainment and American society was made to look like an afterthought. I have come to realize as a senior that in those popular lists that get drawn up - the greatest movies, the greatest TV shows, greatest stars, etc., etc. so many of my favorites of my young and middle adulthood is slipping down on those lists, but that was a surprise that Sir Sidney wasn't given pride of place on People.
