The 1992 16th edition deleted 245 authors and added 340 new ones, along with 1,600 new quotations. The back cover lists 10 quotations selected from the more than 20,000 found inside, by
Gloria Steinem,
Steve Biko,
Grace Slick, and fans of
Star Trek. One contemporary critique argued that it neglected conservative voices and many parts "read like the liberal Left's Hall of Fame”.
