At Easter 1966, millions of Americans picked up what would become one of the most notable magazine covers in the history of the genre: TIME’s stark question asking “Is God Dead?” In retrospect, the cover—and the much-less-remembered actual piece that ran with it—represented a mainstreaming of the spirit of dissent and debate that characterized the era. The cover was back in the news last week with word that the main theologian profiled in the piece, William Hamilton, had died. Hamilton was 87; at the time of the 1966 article, he was a professor at Colgate Rochester Divinity School.
Interested? Don’t miss Jon Meacham’s fascinating column on TIME.com looking back at Hamilton’s story and one of the most controversial covers in TIME’s history.

The latest issue of TIME features the dramatic story of French photojournalist William Daniels, who was trapped in Syria for several days while on assignment for TIME. Eventually he made his way out of the ravaged city of Homs, but some of his colleagues did not. To reduce the volume of violent evidence on film or in print, the Assad regime is deliberately targeting journalists, and Daniels is an eyewitness.
To read his story, pick up the latest issue of TIME on newsstands Friday, or read an abbreviated version of the piece on TIME.com.
Our second international cover, special to all of continental Africa and the Middle East, features Senegalese music superstar Youssou N’Dour, who has formed a political movement to stop the re-election of President Abdoulaye Wade for a third term. Our Alex Perry sat down with N’Dour to discuss the singer’s political awakening. Of course, all subscribers can read the piece on TIME.com.
One of this week’s international covers features Vladimir Putin, who we’ve dubbed “Russia’s Incredible Shrinking Prime Minister,” a reference to Putin’s loosening grip on power – and an explanation of what that means for the rest of the world. (It will be available to TIME readers in the South Pacific, Asia and most of continental Europe.)
But the image’s meaning is twofold. More than commentary, it’s also an homage to a duo of past TIME covers featuring President Bill Clinton. He was named ”The Incredible Shrinking President” in 1993 and “The Incredible Shrinking Ex-President” in 2001.
It’s been 25 years since the death of pop art icon Andy Warhol. He did a number of covers for us over the years, including this one, “Today’s Teenagers” in 1965.
It’s a special thing to be included in his body of work. Thank you, Andy. We’re still honored.
This week’s international edition features a Jeremy Lin cover that’s special to certain parts of Asia, while the rest of Asia, the South Pacific, Europe and Africa will see Kim Jong Un on the cover.
Inside both editions is a great piece on the lost Libyan revolution, more news from Syria, the cover story on Kim Jong Un and our feature on Jeremy Lin, which is also inside this week’s U.S. edition.
