Digging through the archives of @ChroniclesMag with original copies of each issue going back to the 1970s, found this neat mailer with words of praise from Ronald Reagan and Tom Wolfe
Russell Kirk, Thomas Fleming, Samuel Francis in one issue
"Banana Republicans"
Lmao
Based anti communism lineup: Lew Rockwell, Pat Buchanan, Sam Francis, Paul Gottfried, George F. Kenan ("X Article"), John Lukacs, Thomas Fleming
Chronicles was GDP trolling and doing the "line go up" meme before memes were a thing
The March 1996 issue of Chronicles carried Sam Francis' "From Household to Nation" essay on the Middle American populism of Pat Buchanan. This was the essay Rush Limbaugh read on air to explain the appeal of Donald Trump to people early on. It is more relevant even after Trump
Having drinks with Paul Gottfried rn this is surreal
Very first issue of Chronicles magazine on the left, and the July 1994 issue that carried the famous "Anarcho-Tyranny, U.S.A." essay
Found this cool pamphlet with a very prescient critique of the media by Chronicles founder Leopold Tyrmand
