George Magazine Could Have Worked Today

John Kennedy Jr's George Magazine probably would have worked today. When you think about it, the interviews with Castro, the Drew Barrymore Marilyn cover -- all were ahead of their time. We were just not ready to accept DC as a celebrity center when John John took us there.

K Street owes itself somewhat to John John's foresight. That DC series which my good friend on the President's Bioethics commission tells me shuts down the town from ten to ten thirty on Sundays is so John John. George Magazine would have had an audience, George Clooney and John John would have had power lunches, oh what might have been. Arnold would be a cover boy. Matalin and Carville would have been columnists. Dennis Miller would have been the Court Jester. It would have been Camelot all over again. George was ahead of the curve.
