More so that Human Events? HE claims they were founded in 1944. Do you happen to know when NR was founded? In any case, there is room for many conservative publications as far as I’m concerned.
You are right, HE should get a hat tip. I don’t know that they had nearly the circulation or cultural impact of NR, and they were anti-communist American thought at the time like a few other publications as the time. I don’t think they had the same broad synthesis of modern conservatism as NR did (founded in 55).
