...really mattered. The people who were editing Esquire and Harper's then have both been fired and their magazines are at sea, casting about for a new spirit. Esquire's annual Dubois Achievements Awards, a venerable 60s institution, this month are--well, not very funny, almost offensive. Harper's Wraparound section, a 70s innovation, reads like a slicked-up, ungenuine Whole Earth Catalog...
