low-tech history at TNY

Harold Ross and E.B. White on "nauseating verbs." And the office bulletin board. So funny, at Today in Letters, from Feb 25.

I guess some of the credit goes to Thomas Kunkel, for editing Letters from the Editor: The New Yorker's Harold Ross. But I'm not wild about that photo of Ross on the book. It's too pat. Not Ross, but that photo as a thing is too pat. Confusing, I know, but . . .

And, what's this? Both Emdashes and Today in Letters mention Ms. Dawn Powell.
