...regard to my old friend Robert Motherwell's designing a label for Rothschild wines [May 30], I think you might have found it interesting to mention my name along with Picasso, Chagall, et al., as the first American to create a label for Baron Philippe de Rothschild in 1959, for one of the great vintages of this century. Motherwell himself will remember sharing my first signed bottle of 1959 Mouton when we dined with him and Helen Frankenthaler in 1962, right after I received my shipment of cases from France...
Born in Germany, where his father was a baron, Von Braun showed a precocious interest in rocketry; at the age of twelve he managed to construct a rocket-powered wagon, and by the time he was 21 he had outlined the design for a moon rocket. His genius led the German army to employ him in 1932 to develop liquid-fueled rockets; by 1937 it had moved him to the Baltic Sea port of Peenemünde, where began the work that led to Hitler's dreaded V-2 rocket. As the war drew to a close, Von Braun...
...Baron. Joe Morgan exudes confidence. He always has. At 33, he is the best player in baseball. The National League's Most Valuable Player for two straight years, Morgan says proudly: "I want people to expect a lot of Joe Morgan. Success scares some people. Me, I have to have it." The Cincinnati Reds' cocky second baseman has a three-year contract with the club that will net him nearly $1.5 million, but he could add substantially to his earnings by endorsing more products (he stars in several TV commercials) and making personal appearances. However, he maintains...
...newly formed Newsletter Association of America did agree, however, that their business is flourishing, readers are willing to pay ever higher subscription prices and nearly everyone is getting into the act. Out-of-work political operatives, for example, are finding second careers in the field: former Democratic Strategist Alan Baron claims 2,400 readers (most pay $39) for the Baron Report he launched last summer, and ex-Nixon Aide Kevin Phillips says he has nearly 1,000 subscribers to his $94-a-year American Political Report. Among the latest victims of newsletter fever are magazine and book publishers: U.S. News...
...good company," gloated Abstract Expressionist Robert Motherwell. As the latest artist to create a wine label for the renowned French vintner Baron Philippe de Rothschild, 75, Motherwell joined the ranks of Picasso, Chagall, Miro and Braque. Titled Les Caves (the wine cellars), his design is a "primordial image," he explained as he signed and numbered the labels on a dozen bottles of 1974 Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Manhattan. "Chagall and Braque did joyful symbols, but I have a much deeper feeling about wine," said Motherwell, who received 16 cases of Mouton (approximate value: $5,000) for his labors...
