This is very sad news. I remember getting it as a kid (actually, my parents’ subscription) and enjoying it. I looked forward to reading it. I prefer hard copies to reading on the web.

I used to work for Human Events (1970-83) as a reporter, maintained the files, and as a researcher. We had a great group of people: Tom Winter, Alan Ryskind, Andy Seaman, Cleo Grant, Bob Latham, Gary Russell, and many contributing editors/columnists who made the newsroom come alive.

Editorial meetings (I attended/particpated in some), were lively, funny, and creative.

We went out to get stories from Congress, at protests, to Vietnam/Cambodia, as well as good interviews. I was able to get the only two newspaper interviews (along with Al Ryskind on the second one), with US Ambassador to Vietnam, Graham Martin (his aide-de-camp was a friend of mine). He trusted us to get the story right, and we did.

Good old foot-leather, ground pounding, and asking questions is what made us a force to be reckoned with. Our stable of columnists included several Pulitzer Prize winners and many nationally known writers, along with the best Internal Security writers in the country (Herb Romerstein, Frank McNamara, Ralph DeToledano, Willard Edwards, etc)

The old ink paper will be missed, but the stories still hold their quality. If you want to know about Ted kennedy, John Kerry, or other Democratic slimes and their crimes against America, go read the back issues. It is all there.
