The Harper's Index is now in a searchable online form. This is a really big deal. Not just for those of us who own several sweater vests, pairs of khakis (not for work), or who sometimes yell "PARASITE MOTHEFUCKER SHITHEAD!" at speeches on the television. Since I can only assume you're an internet user, it's big for you too.
For those of you unfamiliar with the index, it's a unique and always funny, fascinating and critical piece of the world's best magazine. Read below for a sample:
