Regardie's
''Regardie's'' (1980-1992) was a Washington, D.C. business magazine that was published from 1980 through 1992. It was distinguished by its quirky nature, but was also able to boast about breaking a number of significant financial stories such as a 1990 story on First American Bank and the Bank of Credit and Commerce International.〔(17 December 1992). (Regardie's Magazine Closes Down ), ''The New York Times''〕〔Cassel, Andrew (6 November 1993). (Symposium Is Asked: "Was This The Most Criminal Bank In The World? Or Just The Most Investigated Bank In The World?" ), ''Philadelphia Inquirer'' (noting that May 1990 article in ''Regardie's'' by Larry Gurwin broke the BCCI story)〕
==History==
In 1973, William A. Regardie and his wife Renay Nadler used $5,000 to start a real estate research publication called ''Housing Data Reports.'' By 1975 they also began publishing a ''New Homes Guide'' for house listings. In 1979 they started a publication called ''Real Estate Washington''. This was re-vamped by Regardie, in partnership with Randy Bartow and Michael A. DeSimone, to become ''Regardie's: The Business of Washington'' in 1980.〔〔Nash, Nathaniel C. (7 February 1986). (D.C. enfant terrible finds his niche ), ''Lawrence Journal-World'' (New York Times news service report)〕〔
Popular features in ''Regardie's'' included a list of the top 100 richest people in Washington, and the "Capital Offenses" column that ran down scandals of the year.〔
The magazine's revenue was largely dependent on advertising. At its height, issues often reached 300 pages. By 1991, it was publishing 50,000 copies of each issue, but 38,000 were being distributed for free, and issues had been reduced to around 100 pages. A drop in ad revenue also caused the magazine to move from monthly publication to bi-monthly in February 1991. Regardie asked free subscribers to pay, remarking in his trademark irreverent fashion, "if you want to keep Regardie's in business, either subscribe to Regardie's today, or I'm going to mothball this sucker."〔(11 December 1991). (Regardie's Magazine Asks Readers to Pay ), ''The New York Times''〕〔(28 March 1984). (And a Successful Newcomer ), ''The New York Times''〕 The plea was unsuccessful, however, and Regardie announced he was shutting down the magazine in December 1992.
