Any Vanity Fair fans?

Been reading Vanity Fair for years. Nice to pick up a magazine with intelligently written, detailed articles. Lot of them almost read like a mini book. Sure it has a political slant, but I can get past that.

Any other fans?

I've read a bunch of their pieces that have gained notoriety and have found them well written and insightful. I've never subscribed to it or read the entire magazine. Did Seymour Hersh write for them or was it New Yorker?

I think Seymour wrote for New Yorker.

Vanity Fair is one of those rare magazines where you can actually learn something with every issue.

I'm sure it is a fine magazine, but the name of it is too gay for me to be seen buying it.

Must be a little insecure about your perceived sexuality, huh?

Don't know much about Seymour Hersh, but wasn't "Under the Bleachers" written by Seymour Butts?
