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

‘Maintaining

healthy

blood

pressure is

important

for brain

health too.’

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.”
