The Coming Triumph

Alas, we must depart without expounding on the stories of many other colorful persons and works that have populated the magazine over the years: there were the narcissistic tracts of Todd Hedrick; the days of Ben Tiven, the magazine’s longtime photo editor; the contrarian, argumentative criticism of Jonah Horwitz; the dubious layout rigor of Raphael Hinojosa, and the not-at-all-dubious layout rigor of Lindsay Brin and Sally Hall; and, of course, the many ephemeral friends who have given the masthead a healthy girth, Woody Plants, P. Hortense Vroom, and the aforementioned O’Stool among them.  Now is the time for action: as Crouch soldiers on with Jon Peters ’09 at her side, Spike will continue, onward and forward as ever, to unmask the deceptions of the grim saboteurs and exhibit the truths of belly laughs, vicious parody, and general cultural derision as only she can.
