Oh, this is GREAT.

Forgive me, but who's the chap with Shirley Temple?

[seemslikeadream]

J Egar Hoover, he must of had a thing for Shirley

[cptmarginal]

There's some good stuff from Robert Anton Wilson in those archives... Check rawilsonfans.com for links if you're interested...

Thanks for the reminder that The Realist is out there, I had forgotten...

He probably liked her clothes.

A NOTE: The Realist Archive began in June 2007 with the goal to put every issue of The Realist online and freely accessible to anyone. The one large problem was only 1/3 of the run could be found available anywhere (well available in some places, but at the asking price of a large truck ... Krassner himself didn't have many of the older issues). And an even larger problem being many of the existing issues were (and are) crumbling away and required extensive digital restoration; many issues were destroyed in the act of scanning brittle newsprint itself. But that was part of the project, and every page of The Realist is now viewable - including even the subscriber-only sheets.

This is awesome. I'd never heard of this before.

Damn you Crow, you beat me to it! That was my line! I was gonna say, he probably just liked the dresses...

One of my fave things to do in LA was hit the news-stand on Cahuenga and Hollywood for a big stack of reading material and it was always a good day if the Realist was there- usually stuck in the back row but slowly pouring over every selection was what it was all about...
Best Newstand in the World perhaps:

WOW, if it's still there, it's one of the few left in town!

I used to go there, too, I lived up in the hills right above that place.

Funny, I live in LA and I don't even know if that place is still open. I guess it is, based on the website!

Just guessing, but I'd say about 80% of those newsstands have closed down now, due to the internet (I suppose).

There was another one, smaller, at the corner of Franklin and Tamarind that had some seriously cool stuff that I never saw anywhere else. Hm, I don't know if it's still there, either. I try not to go up into that part of town anymore unless I have to, too crowded, nowhere to park, and other reasons ...

Awesome.

BTW: That pic of Hoover and Shirley is beyond creepy. What a perv.
