Jack, this is “Stinko Gold”!

I love your mini-trip down People magazine’s glory years. One thing that stands out, not just for them but for all magazines in those days, is how much support you could get from the editor’s office — leads, “guys you can call”— not to mention the expenses. Boy, those were the days.

I could read multiple chapters about George Carpozi, king of the clip jobs. I did a clip job once, a book on Viagra I had to write in 24 hours, and the next week, I was at the San Jose airport and it was for sale! But you’re right, George was unmatched. Had six children! Busy guy!
