ENVOY

A really excellent publication is Envoy, a magazine of Catholic apologetics. Unfortunately, some who have recently received our direct mail survey that lists the Hunter College publication of the same name mistakenly thought that it was the classy apologetics magazine that printed obscene and blasphemous material. The real Envoy, run by Matthew Pinto, should never be [...]

TALK DEBUT CATCHES OUR EYE

By |2017-03-20T17:57:38-04:00September 26th, 1999|Categories: Catalyst, Features|Tags: |

Tina Brown, previously of Vanity Fair and the New Yorker, is no ordinary editor-in-chief: she now commands the much-ballyhooed magazine, Talk, and gets paid a handsome $50 million over 5 years for doing so. Nice work if you can get it. Tina is of interest to us for only one thing—she is being funded jointly by Miramax and Hearst Communications. [...]

She was referring to "The Complete Millennium Musical," a performance by the Reduced Shakespeare Company. Sister [...]

The decision of New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani to oppose funding of the Brooklyn Museum of Art—unless it cancels its offensive "Sensation" exhibit—was greeted with applause today by many Catholics.
