...years Chicagoans have talked about founding a museum of modern art to complement the city's long-established Art Institute. But not until 1964, when 30 critics, collectors and dealers met at the home of Critic Doris Lane Butler, did plans get off the ground. And not until 1966 was President Joseph Randall Shapiro able to find suitable space for the new museum-in a handsomely renovated onetime bakery on East Ontario Street. There last week, with a rafter-raising cocktail party replete with macromesh dresses and one dead woodpecker hung around a girl's neck by Artist...

Much of Esquire's fiction has remained on that level, with postwar bylines including Joyce Gary, William Faulkner, Aldous Huxley, Arthur Miller, Paddy Chayefsky, Sinclair Lewis...
...stranger's introduction to the city; a poet, George Dickerson, produces a remarkably prosaic, candid analysis of New York women. Occasionally, local color shifts into caricature, and the book is too breezy and cranky to serve as a visitor's only guide. It is fine as a complement to Kate Simon's New York Places and Pleasures...
