Its contributors consisted of some of the leading intellectual and literary lights of the day. Melvin Lasky replaced Kristol as editor in 1958. Spender resigned as editor in 1967, and the journal ceased publication in 1990. The magazine, active during the Cold War, was eventually known to be partially funded by the CIA. This hardly effected the quality of thought and writing exhibited between its covers. ********************************************* CONDITION - VERY GOOD - EXTERIOR -- Spine is faded and creased; nicking to spine extremities (more so at foot); cover corner tips are softly bumped, with attendant creasing; surface rub is modest (a few small spots). Displays decently. / BINDING -- Solid - slight lean to the front. / INTERIOR -- Nicking along the fore-edges of a few pages; creasing to top corner tips; soft bumps to top for-edge corners; else clean and unmarked.
