Ambitious would certainly describe Black at the beginning of her career in 1966 as a lowly sales assistant at the now defunct Holiday magazine. She moved fast from the start, sometimes too fast for her own good. She once left her résumé on a copy machine at work, where it was found by a senior executive at Curtis Publishing Co., Holiday's owner. Oops. She learned...
