This Week's NY Times Magazine Hillary 2016 Cover Is The Weirdest You'll See Today

Bubba Atkinson | On 23, Jan 2014



The cover, with subtle references to events or people in Clinton’s past, says:

The gravitational pull of a possible 2016 campaign is bringing all the old Clinton characters into her orbit. Can she make the stars align, or will chaos prevail?

This inspiration, from NY Times…

At first we were going to put faces on celestial bodies orbiting around her, but it felt like overkill. Instead, we added other galactic elements, and then Lauren Kern, one of our deputy editors, who was in constant conversation with us about the evolution of the cover, came up with the language (e.g., “The Chelsea Quasar” and “Huma’s Dark Matter”) that would surround “Planet Hillary.”


Your guess is as good as mine…
