New at Reason: Time Magazine's Long History of Scaring the Hell Out of You
For the last
four decades, no magazine has done more to gin up cheap moral

Time has never let logic, restraint, or a lack of
supporting evidence get in the way of a good bed-wetting.
Reason's Radley Balko and Jeff Winkler offer a Top 10 list of the most horrifying, silly, irresponsible, and downright ridiculous Time cover panics from the past 40 years.
Read all about it here.
