Right now Spy draws 80% of its circulation from the New York City area, but Andersen talks about tapping an "urban sensibility that goes beyond the city limits." The magazine is already available in 26 cities coast to coast, and the staff is working up a pilot for a possible half-hour series next fall on ABC. Meantime, there are growing indications that Spy is drawing blood from its target audience. A flack for the "churlish dwarf billionaire" Laurence Tisch was moved to call the editorial offices and point out, "Look, Larry is not technically, medically, a dwarf." Next issue, the technicality was duly noted, with appropriate sarcasm. Spy is not the kind of magazine ever to get , hung up on a technical foul.
