with Malcolm S. Forbes on Jul 3, 1995
Malcolm Forbes (1919?90) was a legendary American magazine publisher. Born in Englewood, N.J., he was the third son of a Scottish immigrant who founded “Forbes” magazine in 1917. He graduated from Princeton University in 1941 and became publisher of the magazine on his father’s death in 1954. Under his leadership, the publication became one of America’s most successful business magazines, with a circulation of 735,000. Its annual list of the richest 400 people in America is one of the most widely quoted sources on the subject of wealth in the United States. Forbes ran unsuccessfully for governor of New Jersey (1957) and used his magazine and numerous books to praise the virtues of laissez-faire capitalism. The family continues to run the magazine and his son, Steve, is a former Republican presidential candidate.
