From a 1986 special issue of The Gamut:
At The Gamut we pride ourselves on our limitless scope.
We like to say that we specialize in being general, that the variety
of your articles is endless, on subjects as esoteric as the dying
languages of Mayan Indians and as down-to-earth as forecasting
the weather, as serious as a new definition of death and as whimsical
as a history of dogs in church. But there is one area in which
we do specialize - we are a regional journal, and in particular,
a Cleveland journal. We have allowed ourselves to be partial to
articles about the city by Cleveland writers. And those writers
have not let us down. (continues)
