I have often made fun of The New Yorker (yes, The New Yorker) as the world's most overrated magazine, but there was a time it wasn't, and the release of a new complete edition on eight DVD-ROMs is surely an astonishing thing. We suspect Harold Ross would have cringed at the title: "Eighty Years of the Nation's Greatest Magazine"; but surely that was David Remnick's idea, and David Remnick's the nation's greatest editor. Nonetheless it should make for fascinating leafing, or rather scrolling, and I'm claiming my copy.
