Such a fantastic magazine in the days of Tom Wolfe, P.J. O’Rourke and of course Hunter Thompson.
Not to mention William Miller.
Yep. The 70s and 80s were it's heyday. Even Matt Taibbi grew over the past 15 years or so into a decent journalist, albeit an unapologetic liberal.
It had a fifty year run. That's pretty respectable for a magazine. Plenty of others have come and gone since then.
