- <p> FOLDED. Spy Magazine, New York-based satirical monthly; after
- 7 1/2 years of publication. Founded in 1986 by Kurt Andersen
- (formerly of Time, currently editor of New York), E. Graydon
- Carter (formerly of Life, currently editor of Vanity Fair) and
- Tom Phillips (entrepreneur), Spy became one of the nation's
- most intently read magazines, devoured for its witty, savagely
- elegant deconstructions of the hype, venality and sheer short-fingered
- vulgarity that marked the past decade. Despite the fact that
- the magazine's circulation rose from 120,000 in 1990 to nearly
- 200,000 last year, the owner, Jean Pigozzi, decided to sell
- it. However, he was unable to find a buyer. Of the closure,
- current editor Tony Hendra (formerly of the National Lampoon)
- said, "It was a financial decision made by financial people
- for financial reasons."
