******* The economy may be tanking and it may have been tax day Tuesday, but there's nothing like Champagne and literary schmoozing to dull the pain. In this instance, the occasion was the recent publication of a money-themed issue of Lapham's Quarterly, essentially curated historical selections overseen by former Harper's editor in chief Lewis Lapham. "After decades at Harper's, Lewis Lapham figured out the best idea for a magazine: All his writers are dead," Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter, a longtime friend, told the crowd. As for the living writers and other eminences who were reading from the issue that night, a co-hostess, Brooke Geagan of the Accompanied Literary Society, in a glittering, pageant-esque evening gown, could not contain her enthusiasm for them. "Graydon Carter: big crush," she blurted. "Tom Wolfe: bigger crush." Her description of Wolfe's writing's effect on her anatomy cannot be printed here, but suffice it to say that even Carter blushed purple and looked helplessly at his wife. As Richard Dreyfuss' cell phone went off — twice — Wolfe showed he was no prude himself, telling a diffuse tale of profiling Marshall McLuhan, author of his selection that night, for New York magazine, which involved a topless bar.

George Lois—the legendary art director whose iconic 1960s Esquire covers influenced an entire generation of magazine designers—is getting his due in the art world. Lois' work for Esquire is set to go on display at New York's Museum of Modern Art later this month. The show, "George Lois: The Esquire Covers," is scheduled to run from April 25 to March 31, 2009. A wall in the gallery will feature original artwork alongside seven of his most iconic covers, including his controversial portrayals of Muhammad Ali (as the Christian martyr St. Sebastian) and Andy Warhol. The museum will feature 32 of the 92 covers Lois did for Esquire between 1962 and 1972. MORE ONLINE

With dwindling newsstand and advertising revenue, slashed marketing budgets, skyrocketing postal and production costs—and, oh yeah, that recession thing—consumer magazine publishers need be innovative, perhaps more than ever before, to survive. And they’re probably going to have to blow up the church-state boundary between advertising and editorial, too. Those were the bullet points that dominated a lively discussion among some 700 advertising and publishing executives here at 12th annual New York Magazine Day Wednesday. Given the tough economic climate, John Griffin, National Geographic group president and Magazine Publishers of America chairman, said publishers must position their magazines to grab post-recession advertising. “Those are unallocated dollars,” Griffin said. “When that money comes back, I want it to come to us rather than someone else.” MORE ONLINE

Ex-Business 2.0 editor Josh Quittner, who was reassigned to Fortune after the new-economy title folded in 2007, has returned to Time magazine, where he’ll be editor at large. Quittner worked for Time in the 1990s, covering technology; this time, he’ll cover consumer technology in a column in print and daily blog on Time.com, Time managing editor Rick Stengel said in a staff memo. Time Inc. closed the struggling 2.0 with the October issue; through September that year, pages had declined 35.3 percent. MORE ONLINE
