A good day for born editors

July 23 seems to be a good day to be born if you want to grow up to be a famous magazine editor. Among those born on this day: Ruth Whitney, the highly respected editor of Glamour magazine for an astonishing 31 years (born in 1928), Albert Shaw of Review of Reviews (born in 1857), and Ben Hibbs of The Saturday Evening Post (born in 1901).

When editors were gods

...or thought so, anyway. The geniuses, egomaniacs, do-gooders, and scoundrels behind America's great magazines. Plus apt quotes and assorted magazine lore. * Greg Daugherty, editor
