‘Life’ covers itself both ways
NZPA-AP New York The cover of the new issue of “Life” magazine features the actors, Tom Cruise and Paul Newman. Or' Paul Newman and ' Tom Cruise. For the first time in its history “Life” is issuing two different covers. . Readers in the American 1 west will see Newman upside-down on the left and Cruise right side up on the right; readers in the east will see them reversed. The two actors, who will soon be seen in a sequel to the film, “The Hustler” (1961) called “The Colour of Money,” posed flat on a pool-table for "Life’s” camera, their heads next to each other but in opposite directions. The managing editor, Ms Judith Daniels, said fans of the two actors on the magazine’s staff had debated who should be right side up and who should be upside-down, and an associate editor, David Friend, had come up with the Solomonic solution to split the country in half and give each a different look.
