[net.misc] Time Magazine's *Man of the Year*

ag5@pucc-k (Henry Mensch) (01/03/85)

<<>>

	I just visited the Public Library in the area and noticed that
Time Magazine had chosen Peter Ueberroth (Chairman of the Los Angeles
Olympic Organizing Committee) as their *Man of the Year*.

	My personal feeling was:  fine, he did a great job of staging the
summer Olympics (without a deficit, even) but that isn't *Man of the Year*
material.

	What I was more interested in is who the folks on the net should
be *Man of the Year*.  So I'm conducting a little survey; the one question
is:

	Who should be USENET's *Person of the Year*, and why?

Please mail your responses to me at one of the paths shown below, and
please keep them short.  I will wait until 1 February to post a summary
of these responses to this newsgroup..

    The same arguments were made when time chose Hitler as its man of the
year. They responded that the award is not for doing great things but rather
for being the years top newsmaker. After all they are in the news business.

      ". . . he wasn't festive but was probably ambidextrous"
