I dropped my subscription to Newsweek 45 years ago. They should have gone under far before now!

45 years ago was the spring of 1973, and I was a senior in high school. I had a subscription to Newsweek, which I read from cover to cover.

At that time, they were ramping up their wall-to-wall coverage of Watergate. I think they did something like 78 covers on Nixon and Watergate, almost consecutively, from early 1973 through his resignation in 1974, and then after, beating the dead horse until the meat fell off the bone.

They were in their glory days then.
