FACT MAGAZINE was another short-lived attempt by publisher RALPH GINSBURG to produce a slick-looking newsstand magazine, which could be entertaining while controversial, for an audience of young, intellectual readers who would not be upset by raunchy language or subject matter; but, like Ginzburg's previous attempt with the magazine EROS (for which he was sentenced to prison for violating obscenity laws), FACT MAGAZINE was also doomed to die an early death, after US Senator BARRY GOLDWATER sued Ginsburg for libel in 1966, after an issue of FACT MAGAZINE suggested that Goldwater was mentally unstable.  Sample a few issues for yourself, to see how innocent we thought we were, in the mid-1960s:
