Grammar

the usage of "the"

0Hi,02br
02br
00I have a sentence from a reference book below and am wondering if I can delete the first "the" and add "the" on the second spot indicated? Or tell me why have "the" on the first place and no "the" on the second.02br
02br
01i00The information in 1. 01u00the02u00? Culture Corner is from 2. (the) Time magazine (March 20, 1990). 02i02br
02br
00I think you can grasp where my grammar weak point lies and possibly refer me to a previous post or two or help me in detail if that's possible here. 0-
