After years of being passed over for languages supposedly faster and sleeker... BASIC IS BACK (Source.)
To the side, in a pink sidebar: "PC IBM, Tandy, PC Compatibles." Up top, in small yellow font: "After years of being passed over for languages supposedly faster and sleeker..." Middle of the page, a sunset with a home computer framing it; two men are enveloped in the glow of the monitor 'sun'. Bellow, in big rounded font: "BASIC IS BACK" The article is credited to Tom Campbell.
