Readers of Harper's Magazine refer to their magazine as Harper's; Harper's Bazaar readers refer to their glossy as Bazaar. The only possible confusion might between HM and a British title "Harper's and Queen", which many a reader simply calls "Harper's". With that latter, they have a case, but with Bazaar? Not really. All this really means is that the idiots are winning!

I've been embarrassed about having confused them since 1981 when a pudgy, bozo-coiffed, pearl-wearing librarian laughed at me. Thank you. This has been cathartic.

The cover stories are always boring no matter who is featured. Skim this month's Jonny Depp feature, or better just look at the photos. However from the stand point of pleasing the advertisers and demographics VF aims for, the Jessica Simpson cover was mind-boggling. She performs to half empty Indian casino showrooms. When will Kate Gosselin make the VF cover?
@La Mareada: But I found out that Depp is a dreamer, a rebel, a poet, an iconoclast, artist, movie star, treasured icon, man's man, libertine, raconteur, the spiritual heir of Kerouac and Brando, a god among men. The only boring thing about it is the unspoken suggestion that mere mortals ought to just take an electric drill and bore a hole in our skulls. Compared to Depp, we're all unenlightened knuckle-draggers.
I think the piece you are looking for is titled "New Orleans" and is in book of essays called Portraits and Observations and can be read in the Google Book thing in its totality...and it is brilliant--especially the smashed cola caps shining like dimes on the street.
