...what the commemoration was all about, had somehow failed to show up in the engraving. There were three other misprinted sheets that had not been sold, but embarrassed Zone officials decided to print more, Harris' saturate dreams of the market philatelic and ruin treasure. They were taking their cue from one time Postmaster General J. Edward Day, who had highhandedly ordered a flood of deliberately misprinted Dag HammarskjÖld commemoratives in order to devaluate an accidental misprint (TIME...
Sargent's conception of the Nieman year makes Harvard little more than a library for journalistic research. Most of the Fellows seem to take his cue.

To create that special feeling, Galanos depended largely on chiffon and sex. Taking a cue from the new bathing suits, he draped nude chiffon across deeply plunging necklines or stretched it tantalizingly across back or midriff. Some of the tops were too brief even to hide a bra, and the models had nothing to rely on but moral support...
