Newspaper article by Mandy Behbehani, originally published in the San Francisco Examiner, syndicated via Scripps Howard News Service, and reprinted in the Rocky Mountain News (Denver, CO) on June 5, 1989, page 60. The article covers the launch of Mirabella magazine, framing it as the next chapter in a dramatic saga that had made Grace Mirabella more famous than Vogue ever did. Behbehani reports that Mirabella grew Vogue's circulation from 400,000 in 1971 to more than 1.2 million over 17 years before being dismissed in 1988. The premiere issue of Mirabella was printed on thicker stock than other fashion magazines, and Mirabella is quoted denying revenge as motivation: "I don't feel the need for revenge," and "We really want it to be a richer, fuller experience for a woman, and therefore it has to have a little journalistic edge to it."
