WHAT YOU
SAID ABOUT ...

PERFECTLY SERENA Sean Gregory’s Aug. 27
cover story about Serena Williams earned
high marks close to home: the tennis star’s
husband Reddit co-founder Alexis Oha-
nian tweeted that he was “so proud.” Many
readers found inspira-
tion in Williams’ life.
“Serena sounds like
a wonderful loving
human mom” tweeted
actor Olivia Wilde.
Endurance racer Ame-
lia Boone of San Jose
Calif. praised the ar-
ticle’s depth: “While
I admire athletes for
their accomplish-
ments I’ve always respected them more for
being human” she tweeted. Also on Twitter
@Ishikamohan described Williams’ story
of coming to terms with her own perceived
shortcomings as “so familiar.” And MaryKay
Hartung of Palm Harbor Fla. was glad to see
the “remarkably positive” Williams on the
cover instead of “yet another” politics story.

‘Her
struggle
mirrors the
struggle
of so many
women.’
APRIL BLAINE
Hilliard Ohio

‘Maintaining
healthy
blood
pressure is
important
for brain
health too.’

ASSOCIATION

BEHIND THE COVERThis week’s cover might seem a little
familiar. To illustrate our story on the mounting troubles
facing President Trump we commissioned longtime TIME
collaborator Tim O’Brien to create a third installment in his
series of Oval Oice covers this time featuring a looded oice
with the President loating above the waterline. “The question
of the third cover was if he would still be at his Resolute desk
or not” says O’Brien a Brooklyn-based artist whose work has
appeared on more than two dozen TIME covers since 1989
depicting subjects ranging from the Catholic Church to Osama
bin Laden. “I felt that it was too comical or perhaps morbid to
see him sitting there. But to have him at the top suggests he’s
still ighting despite the deepening issues.”
