sxpaul, you’re referring to a piece in the genre of historical fiction. It takes place somewhere in the late 1960s, when they stopped publishing great writing and started pushing sleaze and raunch. You’d need a rosary and a Bible to turn it around now, because any major change at Esquire would be just that: a miracle.
