Today in a convenience store we noticed the latest issue of
Fortune. We are old enough to recall when it was a rich monthly, jammed with hundreds of ads; when the
Fortune 500 was a media event and a keepsake worth preserving. (The 500 is all but forgotten, swarmed over by the maniacal listicles of
Forbeslist.) The latest issue is 70 pages and contains an article on how to find work if you're suddenly unemployed. We would make fun of
Fortune but its past hints that we've lost something irreplaceable.
