> Subject: Identification of special issues
>
> A professor at my University has asked me if there is an easy way to identify
> themed issues in the news magazines such as Time, Newsweek, etc.  I haven't
> found an easy way but was wondering if anyone else might have some suggestions.
> I have found issues devoted to cloning, terrorism, childcare, elections, O.J.
> Simpson but haven't found a consistent way to answer her question.  We do
> not subscribe to Special Issues Index and so I did not know whether that would
> be a possible resource to suggest.  She wants something from a popular source
> such as Time Magazine.  She called the publisher and was told they can supply
> back issues but couldn't help her in identifying the issue she might want.
