It's not posted online, but the dead tree version of the March 24, 2003 NEW YORKER has a nice long piece on Clint Eastwood by Lillian Ross. Ross wrote a really good book in the 1950s called PICTURE about the making of John Huston's film RED BADGE OF COURAGE. That book was #66 on the list of top 100 works of journalism in the 20th century. I only bought the magazine because of the Eastwood piece, having been years since I last picked it up. There is also a short piece on 1950s director, Nicholas Ray.

Brother John use to subscribe when Tina Brown was editor and I read a number of those issues. I think a yearly subscription back then was around $18. Now it hovers around $50.
