Times is a Doctor Who newsletter issued by the Legion of Rassilon, a Doctor Who fan club out of California who were responsible for Timecon.
These newsletters were published in the mid-1980s and issued monthly. The issues include things like discussions of then upcoming episodes, commentaries, and convention information. Each issue is about 8 pages long (originally folded in half).
A 1990 issue states that: "The LEGION OF RASSILON is a member of the DOCTOR WHO SUPPORT GROUP and the Lionheart club -- THE FRIENDS OF THE DOCTOR, and exchanges newsletters with other DOCTOR WHO and BLAKE'S 7 fan clubs."

They plan to show two episodes a week back-to-back on either Mondays or Fridays. VCR alert!... [snipped]...

- fans are encouraged to support Alien Nation: "George Nas Matt Less Kay Vots S/Ieema Rof Rankel: For those of you who have been living in a cave, the above is in Tenctonese, which is the language often heard on the Fox Network series, "Alien Nation". Watch the reruns while you can, because it looks as if this superb (!) series will be canceled along with a number of other fantasy and Sci-Fi TV series, such as "War of the Worlds" and "Friday the 13th". There may be a chance to save "Alien Nation" tho'. Although Fox Broadcasting has canceled the show (on a cliffhanger!). Fox Studios (a separate entity) has expressed interest in picking up production."
