Talk:Ramparts (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Since there is no other entry for the term ramparts why don't we rename this article Ramparts? -- Viajero 19:35, 22 May 2004 (UTC)

Why was it called Ramparts and why did it close?--Jack Upland 05:53, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

According to former executive editor Warren Hinckle, founder Edward Keating thought Ramparts was "a terrifically symbolic name because it could mean either defending the Church from the ramparts against secular attack, or Catholic intellectuals striking forth at the world with their ideas, from the ramparts" (If You Have a Lemon, Make Lemonade, p. 36). --Peter Richardson 04:19, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

http://www.insecure.org/stf/hacker_crackdown.txt says they closed after they published a blue box schematic and the feds seized and ruined their shit. The bad publicity and confiscated equipment cut too deeply into their sales. But that book could be wrong, and I can't be arsed verifying it right now. Maybe later. 72.40.101.236 22:43, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright issues

This article is largely based on an article in Folio, which I've linked to on the main page. It probably came to Wikipedia by way of this article on Sourcewatch wiki. On SourceWatch, the source was at least acknowledged. The last paragraph is the real problem - its a direct cut-and-paste from the original copyrighted source article.
