Borrowing a few chops from MARK TWAIN, H. L. MENCKEN, JONATHAN SWIFT, AMBROSE BIERCE, WILL ROGERS, WALT KELLY and others, Krassner stirred up the contents, and created THE REALIST in 1958; and, current events being what they are, THE REALIST stuck around until 2001, a couple years after Krassner himself had died. Apparently, no one had informed the magazine of his passing. Here's the contents from issue #41: The Arrest Of LENNY BRUCE Malice In Maryland -- by MADALYN E.
