Literary and Historical Notes

It was on this day, in 1952, that William Shawn succeeded Harold Ross as the editor of The New Yorker magazine.


I just read that over at the Writer's Almanac site and it reminded me if you're a fan of The New Yorker and you've never read The Years With Ross by James Thurber track down a copy. I'm not sure if it is still in print (I found my copy in a used bookstore years ago) but is is worth the hunt.
