New Yorker Obama Issue Makes History

The New Yorker’s post-election edition—the above over with the ”Bob Staake illustration named ‘Reflection” with a glowing, moon-like “O” rising over the Lincoln Memorial—was a big seller for the mag.

It sold 84,000 copies off the newsstand, the second best issue in the David Remnick era, and the third biggest issue since 1996, according to the magazine’s spokeswoman, reports NYO.
