HARPER'S MAGAZINE - US Magazine - Literary, brainy, and a bit left leaning, Harper's Magazine is a real American institution, where each issue is a full meal for the mind. Its clean, type-heavy design shouts serious readers only. Pages are two columns of text, and the illustrations are mostly photographic art. Along with lengthy, thoughtful, and frequently controversial articles on politics and culture, the public finds essays, short fiction, in-depth reporting and book reviews. Standing features include the much copied but rarely equaled Index, in which statistics tell stories. Readings - a section of excerpts ranging in length from a few lines to thousands of words; and Annotation, in which a real-life document is reproduced and explained, usually have a devastating political or cultural effect.
