Harry (newspaper)
Encyclopedia
Harry was an underground newspaper
founded and edited by Michael Carliner and published biweekly in Baltimore, Maryland from 1969 to 1970. A total of 22 issues were published, with an average circulation of 6,000 to 8,000 copies. P. J. O'Rourke
was a regular contributor and one of its editors. The publication was arbitrarily named by a neighbor's 2-year-old son, who was reportedly calling everything "Harry" at the time.
The newspaper published in a tabloid format, with news in front, followed by cultural features and a community calendar. Harrys slogan, just below its flag, declated its mission: "Serving the Baltimore Underground Community".
Twenty years after the newspaper stopped publishing, Publisher Thomas V. D'Antoni tried to restart Harry as a monthly publication in 1991. His first issue was expected to be 32 pages long, with eight pages of reprints from the original Harry, including some of O'Rourke's articles. D'Antoni was a staff member of the original publication.
