With
Evel Knieval jumping over choirs of angels in Heaven, the battle below focuses on the all-important controversy of which print publication had the final interview with the great man. An article in Sunday's
New York Daily News scored it for Vanity Fair, which calls its
David Brinkley-penned profile the daredevil's "last major interview," which may be true, if you don't consider
Maxim's infelicitously titled
"Evel Never Dies" to be "major" or an "interview."
Darren Prince, Knieval's
marketing agent, confirms to
Radar that
Maxim did in fact speak to the late stuntman, er, later, than
VF.
