As soon as Ed's ears started itching
He knew there'd be coughing and twitching.
So now he's at home,
And he's too sick to roam,
And he's stewing about the work he's missing.
Blargh.

Lewis Lapham Lights Up: The Longtime, Two-Time Harper's Editor Is Retiring, but Not Quitting

Lewis H. Lapham flips up the top of his Zippo lighter, ignites another Parliament and inhales deeply.

At 71, he's about to step down after 28 years as the editor of Harper's magazine, but he's not talking about that right now.

Instead, he's telling the story of his aborted job interview at the CIA back in 1957, when Lapham, after matriculating at Hotchkiss and Yale and Cambridge, hoped for a career as a Cold Warrior. MORE ONLINE

STUCK IN PARK: The reality show about American Media is getting closer to being, well, a reality ??” that is, if legal and logistical considerations don't put the kibosh on it, as several insiders believe they might. A four-minute trailer for the show, tentatively titled "One Park," recently went up on producer Star Price's Web site. The clip follows employees of AMI's magazines, which include Star, the National Enquirer, Shape and Men's Fitness, as they shoot covers, stake out nightclubs and get their party on. If there's a breakout star in this ensemble, it's Men's Fitness editor in chief Neal Boulton, who hams it up with lines like: "I'm around hot, sexy women all the time, partying my ass off....I want to be sexy and I want to have fun."

IN THEIR WAKE: Budget Living was taken off life support last month, but its staff seems to be struggling to let go. Last week, its final editor in chief, Angela Matusik, launched a shelter and design blog to make use of Budget-y ideas that never made it into print. Matusik and three other former BL staffers ??” home market editor Allison Reynolds, senior editor Bunny Wong and special projects editor Beth Johnson ??” are blogging about teapots, taxidermy and the like on Shelterrific.com.

Although they won't always admit it, Peruvians enjoy being underestimated.

"Do you realize that -- after Haiti -- Peru has the lowest literacy rate in all of Latin America? Who would have thought that the most exciting literary magazine to come out of South America would be from Lima and not somewhere like Buenos Aires or Santiago?" asks Daniel Titinger, an editor and writer with the sleek New Yorker-esque nonfiction magazine Etiqueta Negra.

The smile in Titinger's voice suggests he knows exactly who expected Etiqueta Negra to put Peru on the literary map. MORE ONLINE
