Lewis H. Lapham pitched a story to Willie Morris in 1969 about oil discoveries in Alaska, which was published in Harper's Magazine in May 1970.
Lapham, known for his diverse reporting from murder trials to profiles of famous figures, became a contributing writer at Harper's under Morris.
After Morris's resignation from Harper's in 1971, Lapham offered to help keep the magazine afloat, showing his dedication to the publication.
