...that Freelance Writer Harlan Ellison refused to let Esquire use his byline. The article described a pseudotypical Los Angeles woman, prone to suicide, sexually jaded, hooked on pills and astrologically obsessed, who was supposed to be the wave of the future for all American women coming into their early 20s...
...giddy '20s, the prettiest birds of paradise who pranced across the stage of Ziegfeld's Follies and George White's Scandals were invariably festooned in confections of bangles and ostrich feathers whipped up by the designer known as Erte. He also created the lavish sets and languid costumes, trimmed with serpentine curlicues, that made some Metropolitan Opera productions beggar those of today.

...Potpourri. The crew aboard the Airplane is in their middle and late 20s. Musically, they represent a kind of pop potpourri: Balin and Kantner are refugees from folk music, Drummer Spencer Dryden and Guitarist Jack Casady from jazz, Singers Jorma Kaukonen from blues and Grace Slick from pop. Together they produce a lilting, carefree music that crosses so many stylistic lines that they are the only rock group to be invited to both the Monterey Jazz Festival and the Berkeley Folk Festival, not to mention gigs with the San Francisco Symphony and TV's highbrow Bell Telephone Hour...
