Atlantic Plans Book-Length Article
…A handful of publications still resist the shrinking attention spans of Americans,
however, and beginning this summer, one of the holdouts — The Atlantic Monthly
— plans to run the longest piece of journalism it has ever published, and one of
the longest in magazine history.

The article, "American Ground: Unbuilding the World Trade Center," by a staff
correspondent, William Langewiesche, will stretch over three consecutive issues,
starting with July/August, and amount to 60,000 words. In October, Farrar, Straus
& Giroux, Mr. Langewiesche's publisher, will release a book of the same name under
its North Point Press imprint.
