Does anyone know if there's a technical name for the
rectangular box, in most magazines, that lists things like
the editors' names, subscription info., who to contact
for advertising, etc.?

According to Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary, masthead is defined as:

2. a) the printed matter in a newspaper or periodical that gives the
      title and pertinent details of ownership, advertising rates, and
      subscription rates.

2. b) the name of the newspaper displayed on the top of the first page

So, "masthead" is it.
