Pause with us, for a moment, as we enjoy the pleasure of a post-coital cigarette in the form of a Spy retrospective piece that makes no mention of its obvious cultural influence. Oh, sure, the Observer's Alexandra Jacobs credits Kurt Andersen and Gradyon Carter's widely unread rag with such new age developments as Gawker Stalker (obvy) and Punk'd (no doy). But absent from the copy is any mention of Radar. As in that magazine burning its midnight oil to assemble scroll-intensive faux letter features commemorating Andersen and Carter's sycophant relationship. As in that magazine owing its very existence to Spy. Well, except for duplicating the scoops of others. That's entirely Radar's own table offering.

Hey! Remember Us? [Alexandra Jacobs, NYO]
