The New Yorker
New Yorker magazine occupies a unique place in American culture. For 60 years it has been the proving ground for writers like John Updike and J. D. Salinger , and critics like Pauline Kael. But recently the New Yorker's august tradition has come under threat from a new owner, who has appointed his own editor - only the third man to have held this post. Review has been to
Manhattan to talk to some of the New Yorker's most distinguished contributors - John Updike , Ved Mehta and J. McInerney - about the magazine which many of them feel is about to be lost for ever.
