Abstract
When Senior Editor Tekla S. Perry started in this magazine's New York office in 1979, she was issued the standard tools of the trade: notebooks, purple colored pencils for making edits and corrections on page proofs, a push-button telephone wired into a WATS line for unlimited long distance calling, and an IBM Selectric typewriter, “the latest and greatest technology, from my perspective,” she recalled recently.
1979 年,资深编辑泰克拉-佩里(Tekla S. Perry)刚到本杂志纽约办公室工作时,她领到的是标准的工作工具:笔记本、用于在页面校样上进行编辑和修改的紫色彩色铅笔、接在 WATS 线路上可无限拨打长途电话的按键式电话,以及一台 IBM Selectric 打字机,"在我看来,这是最新、最先进的技术",她最近回忆说。
