The madcap satires of Terry Southern, who would have turned 100 today, remain urgently relevant, from the piercing send-up of our national obsession with money in The Magic Christian (1960) to the unforgiving account of American militarism in Dr. Strangelove (1964), the film he cowrote with Stanley Kubrick.
Southern began writing for The Nation just months after publishing The Magic Christian, showcasing his growth and freedom as a journalist compared to traditional reviews.
