That archive is a complete effing fraud. They didn’t even have the internets back in the 70’s.
Also, why the h would I want to read a magazine whose content the free market didn’t even deem worthy to continue to this day?
+1 Better than the Friday Funny by Payne.
I sent in a subscription check to Libertarian Review right when it folded in the early eighties. They folded the money I sent them into my subscription into Inquiry which folded a little while later and folded that subscription into Reason to which I also already had a subscription. That kept my subscription to Reason current for almost the entire decade.
I’m in. The classifieds in old libertarian magazines are hilarious.

They did have pdf files. The moon is made of them. That’s why you can’t look at it on your phone.

Roy Childs was a smart guy.
Had he lived, Roy Childs today would be THE intellectual voice of libertarianism. Imagine him debating oh, say, Wayne Allen Root?
You guys CRUSHED them. Why are you honoring them now? Did the Japanese go sit down and have dinner with Pearl Harbor before they bombed them?
