WSJ mag’s metaphors: Fragile futures and Sarah’s run
The Wall Street Journal launches its new luxury magazine this weekend with coincidental choices. Its advance cover-story wraps a model in newspaper (with a self-referential nod to The Journal) in a piece about fashion’s fragile future. Perhaps not the metaphor intended by a newspaper.
But, look, inside .. isn’t that you-know-who? Before she was picked to run for higher office, WSJ caught Sarah Palin in a Northern Exposure moment thinking about her family (” … running has always been a family affair — and a critical distraction”) and fantasizing about “running on a hot dusty road.” Be careful for what you ask.
