Editorially the two monthlies go their separate ways. Harper's, founded seven years before the Atlantic, is usually feistier. Harper's tone is set by the crotchety essays of Editor Lewis H. Lapham, 45, who slays the fashions of the moment with 18th century prose. Circulation is down 68,000 since 1970, however, and Harper's owner for the past 15 years, John Cowles...
