History
XRay Magazine was founded on December 22, 2000 and published 40 issues. The final issue was released in August 2004.
The magazine was originally started, owned and operated by Stephen Novotni and Arie Vandenberg. Vandenberg left the project in 2002 and went on to produce the Cincinnati arts publication, Artspike.
Novotni continued to publish the magazine and focused the project on community participation in the media, liberal politics and alternative arts.
The magazine was closed due to mounting debt in 2004. Novotni made an attempt to carry on the XRay project and revive Cincinnati's first alternative newspaper, the Independent Eye, in 2005.
The new incarnation of the Eye was published online only through late 2005.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“To care for the quarrels of the past, to identify oneself passionately with a cause that became, politically speaking, a losing cause with the birth of the modern world, is to experience a kind of straining against reality, a rebellious nonconformity that, again, is rare in America, where children are instructed in the virtues of the system they live under, as though history had achieved a happy ending in American civics.”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“You that would judge me do not judge alone
This book or that, come to this hallowed place
Where my friends’ portraits hang and look thereon;
Ireland’s history in their lineaments trace;
Think where man’s glory most begins and ends
And say my glory was I had such friends.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
