  Press Control - 1992 Spy magazine article
Within 24 hours of the arrival at the SPY offices of an amusing photograph of Arnold, his publicist, Charlotte Parker, called SPY's editor to ask whether the magazine was doing a story on her client and was "seeking photos of a private nature." Actually, we weren't seeking such photos.
Last spring, when she discovered that SPY was going to put a photo of Arnold on its cover, she called the editors of the magazine.
When Parker called SPY to ask about photographs of a private nature, she also asked repeatedly about the story the magazine was preparing and about the reporter.

 SALON | Media Circus
Spy does, in fact, still exist, and -- at least as of the last issue -- the porn is gone.
The October issue has a terrific old-school Spy reading of "the off-duty celebrity," which is to say the celebrity who does her best to gain attention for not wanting attention, and a pointed and well-observed parody of the New York Times Magazine.
And where the cardinal sins for the old Spy were gluttony and greed, the cardinal sins for the new Spy seem to be hypocrisy and pretense.

 Spy Magazine - ZGeek
Spy magazine was one of the hip magazines of the late 1980s and early 1990s that created a strange little niche between satire and real news that was to be perfected by internet websites that didn’t even have a world wide web to reside on.
The magazine was started in 1986 with the tagline “The New York Monthly” but that was later dropped when it began to take on more of a national audience.
It was Spy that figured out how to maximize the effectiveness of multiple “entry points” to it’s layout – a strategy now used in the most primitive print publication and any webpage of note.

 SPY MAGAZINE: WACKENHUT
Berckmans, who left Wackenhut in 1981, told SPY that he has seen a formal proposal George Wackenhut submitted to the CIA to allow the agency to use Wackenhut offices throughout the world as fronts for CIA activities.
Ernesto Bermudez, who was Wackenhut's director of international operations from 1987 to '89, admitted to SPY that during 1985 and '86 he ran Wackenhut's operations in El Salvador, where he was in charge of 1,500 men.

 Spy VS. Spy
TMS is syndicating weekly original full-color installments of "Spy vs. Spy," created by the late, legendary cartoonist Antonio Prohias, for use in the Sunday comics, as well as in other sections of the paper.
For over four decades, the fl Spy and white Spy have been building their bizarre, elaborate contraptions-like the board game Mousetrap-in an endless parry of "Joke and Dagger." Political climates have changed, presidents have come and gone, yet the never-ending scheming of the Spies is as relevant as ever.
The KOSS company chose the Spies to adorn the billboard at their corporate headquarters, Altoids Mints have featured them as part of their "Curiously Strong" advertising campaign since last summer, and they appear in the latest issue of the Lands' End clothing catalog.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Spy Game"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-04)
There's plenty wrong with "Spy Game." The stars -- Robert Redford as a CIA caseworker about to retire, and Brad Pitt as his protégé, scheduled for execution in a Chinese prison -- don't have the authority to carry the moral weight the script intends.
"Spy Game" wants to be both a high-powered star blockbuster and to venture credibly into John le Carré's territory and the author's essentially realistic take on espionage and the moral compromises it entails.
Nothing in "Spy Game" matches the charge of the opening, but the various flashbacks are swiftly paced, and Scott maintains a nice tension as Redford tries to stay ahead of his CIA interrogators.

 Spy Magazine - 1986 | Metropolis Magazine
The magazine’s tight integration of design and editorial—rare in today’s world of instant publishing—seems redolent of a less fractured, slower-paced era.
A 1989 undercover Spy investigation of two nutritionists famed for treating celebrities, for example, used the simple device of a central column of illustrated footnotes in red type; like a pillar full of termites, the red column undermined every claim and comment from the doctors’ offices with dry dismissals by third-party medical experts.
Spy offered, as Ellen Lupton wrote in Mixing Messages, “a rich and witty editorial form widely imitated in other publications, from Entertainment Weekly to the New York Times.” For aficionados it becomes easy to attribute every design and editorial innovation to Spy.

The magazine will be distributed solely at Benetton stores, so while it’s too early to predict what kind of impact this might have on sales, we're betting it will at least get people in the door.

 Mad (magazine) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eventually, the magazine was obliged to abandon its long-time home at 485 Madison Avenue, and in the mid-1990s, it moved into DC Comics' offices at the same time DC relocated to 1700 Broadway.
Today, the magazine is published by a branch of DC Comics and in recent years has used its advertising revenue to increase the use of color and improve the magazine's paper stock.
Many of the magazine's mainstays began slowing, retiring or dying in the 1980s; though the magazine was always open to new talent, the influx increased from this stage onwards.

This light mocking attitude was missing, however, in SPY Notes, the editors' simultaneous parody of Cliffs Notes and the works of hip urban novelists including Jay McInerney, Tama Janowitz, and Bret Easton Ellis.
SPY Notes reveals one incredible, utterly mockable fact: 11 of the 15 plots summarized hinge upon the death of the protagonist's mother.
On the whole, SPY Notes is an acerbically funny look at this embarrassing decade and its most famous artists.

MAD magazine's Spy vs. Spy is a long-running comic strip about two pointy-nosed spies that are constantly fighting.
Now, Spy vs. Spy is making its way to the Xbox, trying to recapture the classic characters and the classic gameplay of the old games, but ultimately failing on both counts.
It would have been cool to maybe hear a remix of the classic music from the first Spy vs. Spy, and unlockable versions of the old games might have given this one some value to the nostalgist.

Joel Stein's Q&As in Time, specifically designed to embarrass their subjects, were indebted to Spy's fake interview techniques (reprised in the most recent Radar as a contest between Melissa Rivers and Gwyneth Paltrow for who commanded the best freebies when Radar staffers rang establishments and posed as their assistants).
Spy's most direct inspiration was Britain's satirical Private Eye, but on this side of the Atlantic, Esquire had been doing its part to pull back the veil on politics and celebrity since at least the early '70s.
But Spy was meaner, more reactionary, and more far-reaching than any of its predecessors, and it has cast a proportionally longer shadow.

Spy was named after the fictitious magazine which employed Jimmy Stewart's character, Macaulay "Mike" Connor, in the movie The Philadelphia Story.

Yet amidst that impressive résumé, it’s Spy magazine that continues to fascinate, as evidenced by the breathless reaction surrounding even the initial 2003 announcement of The Funny Years’ seven-figure advance.
However, some of the closest-read stories in Spy were the ones that, today, seem the most conventional in light of the dizzying array of weekly, daily and on-line, instantaneous media criticism.
Spy intern David Kamp recalls in The Funny Years that “I was given Kurt’s Time Life ID and Marissa [Rothkopf] was given Graydon’s—she had a sort of flapper, wedge cut, which from a distance wasn’t a world of difference from Graydon’s hair style.

One Spy alum is conspicuously missing from the staff directory in Inside 's press release—David Korzenik, a lawyer Andersen has retained to handle licensing and libel review.
Of course, the fact that Korzenik scrutinized Spy stories prepublication didn't stop people from threatening to sue when they were publicly humiliated in the magazine.
Indeed, he says, Spy was widely read by plaintiffs' attorneys as they scavenged for potential cases.

 Salon | Media Circus: UNDER THE COVERS-Separated at death?
Ironically, the March 1998 issue of Spy predicted doom for George magazine; the hilarious cover story labeled founder John F. Kennedy Jr., "a poster boy for poster-boy behavior." Spy also deemed JFK Jr.
You could look at Spy's second death (it folded temporarily in 1994) as the overdue end of an '80s satire vehicle that outlived its bread and butter -- its Henry Kravises and Tama Janowitzes -- but really it's a sign of the magazine's success.
The best of Spy's charticles worked not because they were dead-on but because they were slightly absurd, thus exposing the follies not only of their targets but of too-facile commentary.

By the time that this SPY Magazine article was on the newsstands in the Fall of 1990, I had already received and was using the RTR costume built by Stagecraft Inc. and funded by "Sesame Street"'s Big Bird.
The line they supposedly quoted from me--"Being a giant rabbit is not always as great as it sounds."--was inaccurate, what I said was"it's not as easy as it LOOKS." Nevertheless, the quote as printed in SPY Magazine later reappeared on the quotations page of an issue of Newsweek magazine a few months later.
