Saturday Review (U.S. Magazine)
Saturday Review, previously The Saturday Review of Literature, was an American weekly magazine established in 1924. Norman Cousins was the editor from 1940 to 1971.
At its peak, Saturday Review was influential as the base of several widely-read critics (e.g., Wilder Hobson and theater critics John Mason Brown and Henry Hewes), and was often known by its initials as SR. It was never hugely profitable and eventually succumbed to the decline of general-interest magazines after restructuring and trying to reinvent itself more than once during the 1970s and 1980s.

Famous quotes containing the words saturday and/or review:
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“As I review my life, I feel I must have missed the point, either then or now.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
