Eight years ago, three newly graduated Harvard Lampoon editors had a wild and crazy idea: Why not start the first modern national humor magazine for American adults? They took the idea to a middle-aged entrepreneur-the publisher of Weight Watchers magazine, no less-and National Lampoon was born. The rest is history, or if not history, then at least hilarity...
