...offer you Garbo or Buddy Guy. You know where to find them anyhow. But the photography show, the largest American showing of Cartier-Bresson photographs in twenty years, is now at the Worcester Art Museum. You should go. It consists of 148 photographs, all but twenty-five taken since 1950. All of the pictures come from the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York and were chosen for the show by Cartier-Bresson and the Curator of Photography...

Then he drew up a list of several staffers to be dismissed. This action, he maintained, was dictated by economic necessity. And, indeed, profits had slipped somewhat before the strike. By failing to publish four issues during the strikes, Paris-Match had lost at least $1,000,000. Moreover, advertising orders had dropped, and the magazine was hard put to maintain its prestrike 1,280,000 circulation. By trimming the staff...
