TAKE CHARGE! From Selected Articles in MONEY

Time Warner recycles articles from its signature magazine, MONEY. The sound picture is articles lightly edited for audio, briskly read narration split between four or five readers and an underscoring of treacly stock music. TAKE CHARGE gives advice on personal finance. Actors unaware of the original speaker's inflections read the quotes from primary sources, diminishing their informational value.
