Harper’s Index Online and Searchable

Harper’s Index, the most thought provoking fun you’ll find on one printed page, is turning 25 years old. Harper’s Magazine, launched in 1850, is the 2nd longest continuously published magazine in the United States (behind Scientific American) but the Index is the first page that many readers skip to in each issue. To celebrate the Index’s anniversary, Harper’s has put the full index of biting trivia one-liners up on its website for searching and reposting on Twitter. Welcome to the 21st century Harper’s Index, may you bring us as much joy and reflection in the future as you always have in the past.
