...MAYSLES brothers have thus picked up the cudgel in that tired old liberal crusade against the commercialization of religion. Implications might be drawn, weighty ones, about the nature of a commence-ransacked religion; about the everyday violence perpetrated by modern-day moneychangers of the cloth, about a ruling class' interest in the institutionalization of ecstasy through church structure. But the direct cinema aesthetic, in this case dedicated to just being there while a Bible salesman goes under, doesn't permit them. In its exposure of contradictions Salesman is a one-joke film; in intellectual content in never rises above Ferlinghetti...
...frustrate a curious world. Early each morning before Greta Garbo, 63, came down for a swim, a maid would appear to case the beach for prowling photographers. If the place was deserted, the maid would deliver an "all-clear" signal and Garbo would appear in a white terry-cloth wrap and plunge in for a brief, ever-watchful dip. Security broke only long enough for some quick shots by a long-lens camera that recorded the famous face, still beautiful despite advancing...
...Chicago's North Michigan Avenue, where a Magnin's is expected to open in late 1971. Others will follow on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue, in New York City's shinier suburbs and in Palm Beach, Grosse Pointe, Atlanta and other places where $1,000 cloth coats and $500 dresses move fast.

Another piece consists of a plaster "torso" wearing a bloodstained gray jacket, its arms flung out handless in the posture of a crucifix. Two or three blood-red cloth carnations sprout from the jacket's inside pockets. Still another assemblage presents a shoe embedded in a plaster block. Where the toe dared to protrude from the block, it is chopped off in procrustean fashion; a carnation sprouts from the gaping hole...
Still, the pay is good, and so are the perks. On the road, Fielding, Raff and Bones travel like triplets. They each carry three dark blue mohair suits, tailored with covered buttons and zippered pockets by Brioni of Rome. Their shirts are all of fine white oxford cloth sewn to Fielding's own design (handmade buttonholes, extra-long French cuffs) by a Majorcan shirtmaker. Their ties are regimental-striped and made in Italy. Their topcoats of blue vicuŅa are cut by English House in Copenhagen. Even their techniques are triplicate...
