Michael Levy, who launched Texas Monthly in 1973, writes in his
retirement announcement: "People who remember 'the good ol' days' have bad memories. It was scary. Our offices were in a walk-up with the Xerox on my desk so I could count the copies people were making. Gas coming through the heating system giving us awful headaches. Bats flying around. Too many times we should have been forced out of business. If our printer had not forgotten to send us a bill for the first six months because we were so small, we would have been bankrupt."
