20/20 vision: celebrating two decades of Feelgood

From the cover of our June 12, 2009 edition.

Irene Feighan looks back on two decades of Feelgood, from the hotpants diet to guest editors, fertility issues, and reports on the big issues in our lives.

IT seemed counterintuitive at first to open the digital vault housing past editions of Feelgood, when the cut and thrust of journalism is about what’s happening right now or what’s on the horizon. But by delving into our 20-year archive, I uncovered layer after layer of our recent social history, from boom to bust to bounce-back.
