Fact Magazine

Fact Magazine

"Fact Magazine" was an American publication that commented on controversial topics.

Edited by Ralph Ginzburg and Warren Boroson, the magazine was notable for having been sued by Barry Goldwater over a 1964 issue entitled "The Unconscious of a Conservative: A special Issue on the Mind of Barry Goldwater." A federal jury awarded Goldwater $1 in compensatory damages (indicating his reputation had not really been harmed) and $75,000 in punitive damages, to punish Ginzburg and the magazine for being reckless. The United States Court of Appeals affirmed the award and the Supreme Court denied a petition for certiorari (review), Justices Black and Douglas joining a dissenting opinion, rather unusual at the time (1970) on orders denying "cert."
