#2Folks here may want to read more than just this piece at The Stacks Reader. But first, a disclaimer: The site is run by a dear friend and I have done a lot of behind the scenes work on the site content.
So why poke around the site? The site's mission is clear: "A living archive of the best print journalism." What the site operator does is, essentially, rescue good journalism that would otherwise be lost to microfilm. Nearly all (if not all) the content pre-dates the internet, and these pieces become virtually unavailable without efforts like this. Everything is done with permission from the rights holders and this effort allows anyone to experience journalism across a range of subjects and styles that at one point captured some of a cultural zeitgeist.

Great website, the first thing I did after reading the article was think: hey, what is this place? and went to the main menu.
Best of luck to you all going forward.

#7Some real hairballs in this piece. Imagine thinking the lives of southern Italians didn’t really change between 1870-1970.
Fun read though.

Note it's by shivers, not pg (who I don't think was involved with T). It is worth reading the whole thing.
