Harper’s Set to Name Its Next Editor — Exit Lapham

Harper’s Set to Name Its Next Editor - New York Times:

Harper’s Magazine is an intellectual hothouse that tends to grow its own. The magazine will announce today that Roger D. Hodge, 38, will succeed Lewis H. Lapham as editor in April, and Mr. Hodge is no exception. After being turned down for an internship in 1996, he got a call back a few days later and has remained planted at the magazine since, holding a variety of jobs, most recently serving as deputy editor.

Lapham was a liability to Harper’s. His essays have been way too predictably liberal. The editor of a magazine needs to surprise.
