... in 1910, Russell Lynes, who would grow up to become a longtime managing editor of Harper's Magazine, was born in Massachusetts. Lynes was probably best known for his books, including 1954's "The Tastemakers," which reprinted a 1949 Harper's essay in which he famously segmented American culture into highbrow, middlebrow, and lowbrow. Lynes characterized his magazine as "upper middlebrow."
