Here's a copy of the e-mail i just sent to TIME for possible inclusion in the Letters section of their next issue. I won't hold my breath.        TIME:    I would just like to 'congratulate' Arthur Hochstein on his brilliant artwork for the July 16th Time cover. There's nothing like discovering that the ice cubes in a whiskey-on-the-rocks are actually a life-size penis spurting semen as an axe blade slices into it on an upward angle. I also enjoyed the two yellow skulls (in the middle and bottom ice cubes), as well as the gaping vaginas (bottom cube), and the crucifixion scene: Jesus carrying the cross as Mary looks on (in the middle cube). I must admit to being a bit puzzled in regards to the overcome man, however: What's with his left leg being approximately four inches shorter than his right? Additional castration symbol?    As long as ingenius artists like Mr. Hochstein are employed by your art department and allowed to play subliminal charades with our psyches, I don't think the liquor companies will have any worries about us overcoming our addictions, nor will Time have any worries about losing valued ad revenue from said companies disgruntled by their cover story.    R.
