{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of original manuscripts, typescripts, and \"retypes\" (transcriptions made by the New Yorker's typing pool for editing purposes) of both published (\"Run\") and unpublished (\"Killed\") Fact, Fiction, Poetry, and shorter pieces, usually edited, revised by editor(s) and/or author, and sometimes accompanied by related correspondence and memos. Since rejected manuscripts were generally returned to their authors, most manuscripts in the archive were run. These manuscripts served as the working drafts of the editors and authors, and in some cases pieces are represented by three or four successive drafts.</p> <p>Manuscripts in this series include a 260-page extensively corrected typescript of Hannah Arendt's \"Eichmann in Jerusalem\" (Box 1437) published in five parts in 1963, and the typescript of Jonathan Schell's \"The Village of Ben Suc\" (Box 1517), an article published in 1967 that described the destruction of a Vietnamese village by American soldiers and which marked the beginning of the New Yorker's more politically engaged content throughout the Vietnam conflict.</p> <p>The New Yorker often bought and edited manuscripts, then held on to them for as long as 20 years before publishing, killing, reediting, or returning them. In this series each piece can be found in the year, or range of years, during which it was run or killed, and under the author's name. Unsigned work, such as \"Talk of the Town\" pieces, can be found under their New Yorker department headings.</p> <p>The manuscripts are arranged in fifteen subseries: 6.1: Fact & Fiction: Run & Killed 1926-1927 6.2: Fact: Run & Killed 1938-1958 6.3: \" 1959-1966 6.4: \" 1967-1969 6.5: \" 1970-1973 6.6: \" 1974-1976 6.7: \" 1977-1984 6.8: Fact: Lists of Killed Mss. 1943-1980 6.9: Fiction: Run & Killed 1951-1982 6.10: Fiction: Killed, Lists Only 1944-1982 6.11: Plays: Run & Killed 1952-1976 6.12: Verse: Run & Killed 1951-1973 6.13: Very Short Pieces: Run &Killed 1951-1980 6.14: Very Short Pieces: Killed, Lists 1952-1980 6.15: Miscellaneous Manuscripts n.d.</p>"}
