FACT - January-February 1966 - Vol 3 #1 - 1960s MUCKRAKING MAGAZINE

Description: Measures 8-15/32" X 11-31/32", 64 pp plus covers, b&w illustrations, Volume 3, Number 1 (January-February 1966), published by Fact Magazine Inc. (NY). While published concurrently with the better-known RAMPARTS MAGAZINE, FACT MAGAZINE regrettably only lasted a few issues (from January 1964 through October 1967), and was a victim of its own success, having published in 1964 a scathing article about Senator BARRY GOLDWATER (who was at that time the Republican candidate for president of the United States), in which a large number of American psychologists had diagnosed Senator Goldwater as being mentally unstable. Goldwater sued RALPH GINZBURG, the editor of FACT, and won, nearly bankrupting Ginzburg in the process. (Ginzburg had earlier been convicted of violating obscenity laws for the publication of a previous short-lived magazine, entitled EROS, for which Ginzburg was eventually sentenced to serve 5 years in prison. He was released after serving 8 months.) While RAMPARTS had deeper pockets (and color photographs), FACT had a fragile vulnerability, which doomed it to an early demise; but collectors of 1960s liberal muckraking magazines should definitely make an effort to hunt down the entire, short-lived run of FACT MAGAZINE.
