The New Yorker is celebrating its eighty-fifth anniversary (a somewhat odd number to be commemorating, perhaps), and in a fit of nostalgia is publishing an article from their archives each day for the next eighty-five week-days. Each piece is available to non-subscribers for a day here:

Not only is there the chance to read some excellent pieces I never even suspected existed, but there's also the opportunity to marvel at the magazine layout of yesteryear. I'm aware that much of this stuff pre-dates television advertising and obviously the market is radically different now than it was even ten years ago, but it's still a bit of a jolt to see the sheer amount of material crammed into the pages. Lovely stuff.
