During its half-century, the publication has won 14 National Magazine Awards. Levy took stock of its success.
Levy was 26 when the first issue went to press. Born to a father who fled Europe during the early 1900s and a mother whose parents did the same, their only son was fiercely determined.
He hired as his first editor William Broyles, an ex-Marine who had served in Vietnam. Looking back, Broyles remembers the early days with the same sense of fear and dread as his former boss. “We started out with nothing,” says Broyles, who later became a screenwriter with such lofty credits as“No coffee, no coffee machines,” he elaborates. “We had no stories, no storyboard. … We had nothing planned. No design. We had nothing. But Levy never wavered. His vision was that it was going to work. Levy believed that Texas was ready for its own version ofAnd Mike believed that it had to be as good as any of those magazines. He really believed we could do it.
As he wrote in an exquisite opening paragraph: “The first time I met Duane Thomas he told me about The Great Cosmos. The Great Cosmos was Duane’s attempt to express the inexpressible, and he used the term like a new toy. It was an interchangeable expression of faith and fear, of love and loneliness, of infinite acceptance and eternal rejection, a gussied-up extraterrestrial slang that still hovered painfully near his South Dallas streets.
