First line
IT WAS A GUTSY THING TO DO, and maybe a little daft: buying out the State Observer and East Texas Democrat, hiring a 24-year-old to edit the renamed Texas Observer, and expecting that the new Austin weekly - through its reporting on social tensions and labor strife, racial violence and political corruption - would radically alter the political landscape of the then largest state in the Union.
