Karen,
I get the Inquirer from Thursday til Sunday and I believe that they
had two forewarnings in Thursday and Friday's issue about the Parade
interview where they announced that it had been done before her death.

When I scanned today's Sunday Inquirer, I came across the Parade
Magazine insert, which had a full cover photo of the late Benazir
Bhutto of Pakistan. Thinking it was a tribute, I began reading it,
only to discover that it was an interview that had been conducted with
her shortly before she was assassinated. The story was written in the
present tense as if she were still alive and was being interviewed
today about her participation in the elections that were originally
scheduled for this week.
The Inquirer front page included a small box at the bottom of the page
that said that the magazine insert had already been published when
Prime Minister Bhutto was assassinated on December 27. But that
certainly does not expain the Inquirer's breathtaking display of poor
taste in not pulling the Parade Magazine from its
Sunday editions. They had since December 27 to so, and that front page
box could have instead stated that there would be no Parade insert out
of respect for the fact that the Prime Minister had been murdered
after publication of the interview.

he present tense as if she were being interviewed today. the election
was , discussing what she anticipate of her written despite the fact
that the subject of its cover story, Parade Magazine's cover story was
an interview with the late Benizir Bhutto, conducted in anticipation
of the Pakistani elections originally scheduled for this weekwritten
before In a breathtaking display of bad taste, the Inquirer included
the Parade Magazine in today's paper, instead of pulling it.
