2 gigantic vertical screens cycled through the “Guardian of the Truth” covers. Jamal’s came up as people danced to Michael Jackson. I watched as Jamal’s cover faded out.

Minutes later, the image of MBS appeared. His April 2018 cover was the headlined, “Charm Offensive: Should the World Buy What the Crown Prince Is Selling?” I realized then that the party was a celebration of all that Time had done that year. I'd forgotten that #MBS was one of Time’s 100 most influential people in 2018.
