How the cover
gets made
①
“This week’s story is
about the markets.
They’re not doing great.”
“Are we in a dip? Should
I buy the dip?”
“I remind you again,
I’m an editor, not
a financial adviser.”
“But I love dip.”
“Yes I know. You’d
probably get along
with our cover subject,
Larry Kudlow. He always
sees the positivity in
the economy, no matter
how bad things are.”
②“You sure we’re talking
about the same
person?”
“Yep. And he’s agreed
to a photo shoot.”
“Wow, great news!
Let’s ask him for his
brightest, sunniest
bull market smile.”
