Excerpt from The Assault on Humanism
In the common lot of physical mortality, Nature has discriminated against the magazine. Less ephemeral in essential things than the newspaper, it follows the daily journal close in the race for oblivion. Like other living creatures, however, the magazine adapts itself instinctively to the circumstances of its being, and lives its time, taking on the vivid colors of the world about it, careless how soon they fade after the last fatal days of the month have heralded the birth of a successor. But it is The Atlantic"s happy experience to enjoy, now and again, a kind of posthumous satisfaction in a continuing public interest in contributions which, thanks to the spirit of the times, or to the genius of an author, are read, reread, and saved with painful care.
