Not that I know of. In the case of the paper, it was named after the coin because that's how much it cost.
Front-Ranger:
Had to get the March 6 issue out of the recycling to read two articles I missed the first time around: Elizabeth Kolbert's "Control of Nature" about peecycling in Vermont, and "The End of the English Major" by Nathan Heller. It seemed quite ironic to be reading about English literature dying in a magazine that is one of the highest examples of English and is read by 1.2 million people. But the main point of the overlong article is that English literature is evolving and morphing into adjacent studies such as culture, history, and television programs.

Those adjacent studies are all good, too. As for the New Yorker's audience and the death of literature, that's a little over one in 300 Americans. That doesn't seem like a lot, but I don't know how that rate compares to earlier days.
Front-Ranger:
I should have said "circulation" instead of "people". Would that include library readers, and those in the retirement homes I take my old issues to?
