The magazine meant a significant stylistic renewal of language and content. It dedicated a significant number of pages to reviewing cultural activities, with unusual depth and quality. Great interviews with personalities became famous, such as one with Gabriel García Márquez (presented in depth for the first time to the Argentine public) or with Victoria Ocampo , or the reviews of the work of Julio Cortázar or Leopoldo Torre Nilsson.
