FRIDAY FLASHBACK: Pandas reading papers. A gem of a cover from the February 1990 issue.
A seriously cool telegram went up in the Kiplinger hallway today. In case you can’t read the old-timey typing, it says:
“Some people have trouble imagining Washington without air conditioning. I have trouble imagining it without the Kiplinger Washington Letter.

The ultimate insider’s guide passes retirement age, still going strong.”
Signed: Richard Nixon. (Whoa.)
FRIDAY FLASHBACK: New road signs in the April 1972 issue.

Times are changing, that’s for sure. Kind of made us wonder what will be the big jobs of tomorrow.
