Ray Cave, who as the managing editor of Time magazine for eight years oversaw changes to its stodgy look and encouraged the publication of single-subject issues like “Children of War,” died on Monday at his home in Boothbay, Me. Cave, confirmed the death. Mr. Cave became Time's top editor in the fall of 1977, when the magazine was still a swaggering journalistic force, unimpeded by competition from the internet. Time was the leading newsweekly when weekly magazines were still flourishing. Its pages were flush with ads.
