Freelance Editor
After leaving the Lampoon in 1978 Hendra began working as a freelance editor, writer and actor. During the New York newspaper strike of 1978 he helped create the parody Not the New York Times featuring Christopher Cerf, George Plimpton, and Rusty Unger, and published by Larry Durocher and Josh Feigenbaum. In 1982 he was editor-in-chief of Off the Wall Street Journal and, in 1983, of Off the Wall Street Journal II. Other parodies Hendra created and edited included The Irrational Inquirer, Playboy: the Parody and Not the Bible (1983).
Hendra was featured on the cover of Newsweek (25 April 1983) with Sean Kelly and Alfred Gingold.
Hendra was editor-in-chief of Spy Magazine from 1993 to 1994.

Famous quotes containing the word editor:
“As for the herd of newspapers and magazines, I do not chance to know an editor in the country who will deliberately print anything which he knows will ultimately and permanently reduce the number of his subscribers. They do not believe that it would be expedient. How then can they print truth?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
