Warren Hinckle and the Glory that was Ramparts
#23
Jim DiEugenio Wrote:Warren Hinckle passed away about 12 days ago. I surveyed almost all the notices and was stunned at how few of them mentioned or discounted his editorship of Ramparts. Actually it kind of stunned me, because not only was it the highlight o this career, in my view, it was the last great glossy American magazine. Nothing has touched it since.

Among its many achievements it was the only such magazine that put the JFK case on the cover more than once. In fact I think it dis so three times. And it featured writers like Penn Jones, David Lifton, and Bill Turner. IT was so well read, 250,000 circulation at its peak, and so politically potent, the CIA launched operations against it. Time and the NY Times singled it out for numerous attacks. There has been nothing like it since, and it makes online journalism look like a joke.

IF you know not of what I speak, please read and be reminded of what real journalism was and can be:

It was a great magazine! Those were the days, my friends.......
I found one of the JFK pieces at internet archive https://archive.org/details/JfkAssassina...tsJune1967
If anyone can find any other issues online, kindly let us know....
