In 1995 JOHN KENNEDY JR. fullfilled a vision of providing a periodical focused on Politics, but from a more entertaining and accessible perspective than the magazines focused on that world in the 1990's. Thus he began "George". Each issue presented a variety of articles about and/or written by political, entertainment, sports, authors, etc.  The intent was to educate, enlighten, and move you to get involved...without a slanted party-stance intention.  The magazine ultimately reached a circulation of over 500,000 per issue.  Given the magazine was truly driven by John Kennedy, his death was a devastating blow to it's future.  Thus, while it did go on for over a year after his death, it was ultimately determined to cease operations.  This, then is the collectable last issue, issued in May of 2001. Articles include: A sampling of some of the best articles-"The Best Of George" from 1995-2001...an article on Cocaine in America...a look back at "All in Family", the groundbreaking '70's TV show...The "50 Most Powerful People in Politics"...a look at several of the most Poerful People in America...an article on singer Steve Earle...an Interview with Helen Thomas...and MUCH more...The magazine has been in my collection since purchase new in 2001...it is in EX- condition....most of the magazine is in superb condition...there are a few defects such as bent pages & there is a small tear on the bottom corner of the rear cover & the last page...there are also two small bent corners on the front cover....overall. all the pages have vibrant colors and nowriting, or discoloration.    Please note that I am a collector with MANY unique, high quality, collectibles in records, picture sleeves, CD's, DVD's, Sports Memorabilia (Baseball cards, Books, Magazines, etc.) & other assorted Memorabilia.  Please look for these items under my store…”BLJ’s MUSIC & MEMORABILIA”.  I am doing initial stocking now, and you will begin to see an amazing variety of super, HARD-TO-FIND items.
