Journalist Victor S. Navasky — a left wing political luminary who ran one of the country’s oldest magazines as both editor and publisher — died on Monday at 90.
Leo Sorel/The NationNavasky ran, one of the oldest magazines in America, with a sharp progressive bent. He started as editor in 1978, a year when teachers's strikes and the Camp David Accords ruled the headlines. He also worked as the magazine's publisher, and then publisher emeritus until his death Monday at a hospital in New York. The cause was pneumonia, his son Bruno Navasky told NPR.
. He was alluding to the magazine's pointed criticism of the George W. Bush administration and the soaring number of subscriptions his publication saw after the advent of the second Gulf War."It's a rallying point for people who feel that they're not represented at the highest levels of power." Navasky, the second child of a clothing manufacturer, was also a scion of the Upper West Side in Manhattan. He attended progressive educational institutions, including Rudolph Steiner School and Swarthmore College. After a stint in the U.S. Army, he enrolled in Yale Law School and quickly became part of the journalism establishment, working for The New York Times as an editor, writer and columnist.that Navasky's singular voice became a clarion call for the left.
