"There's no emotional connection between the reader and the computer screen," believes Lorin Stein, new editor of the Paris Review, the 57-year-old literary magazine, still a must-read for people who appreciate great writers and great writing.

"Print is a direct connection. It allows you to get lost in a story. There's nothing else to interrupt you, no Internet, no e-mail to be thinking about."
