By Monday, if they haven't had their fill of news magazines, they can turn to "Day One," ABC's newest entrant to the genre. And on Tuesday, there's more with "Dateline NBC" So it goes throughout the week. Every day except Saturday there is a network news magazine to choose from: "Eye-to-Eye," "Now," "48 Hours," "20/20" and "Prime Time Live."

NEWS ABOUT THE MAGAZINE

Date: 24 October 1993

It is a theme issue, the first since the Clinton Inauguration. Finally, this is the last issue of the Magazine in its present format. From time to time, the Magazine devotes an entire issue to a single theme. Just as the Jan. 17 issue examined American politics from serious and not-so-serious perspectives, this issue examines the influence of fashion on daily life since Fashions of The Times began in 1943. In many ways, fashion has had as much influence on Americans in that time as politics.
