In a departure from publishing tradition, the August issue of Adventure carried an editor's note, not about the stories readers would find inside, but about one they wouldn't.
Editor John Rasmus used his page for an essay titled "Always Great, But Always Late" to explain why the magazine's star columnist, Tim Cahill, was missing from the issue. "As I write these words, there is no Cahill column on hand, none in this issue, and no feature article that was due several months ago," wrote Rasmus, longtime editor of Outside, and the man who launched Men's Journal for Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner.
