Whether you’re looking at the “Digital Edition”:http://archives.newyorker.com/?i=2008-11-17 or the “dead tree” edition (the very phrase seems to plead for the invention of some sort of Virtual Interweb Way of reading _The New Yorker_), this week’s issue has a lovely cover, a Talk of the Town section crammed with items about Election Night and its aftermath, and four major features by David Remnick, Ryan Lizza, George Packer, and David Grann, about the campaign, the election, the president-elect, and what it all means. I’ll be taking some time out this week to comment on this or that aspect of the issue. It’s great to see _The New Yorker_ rise to the occasion.
