...them for Hefner products. A four-color promotion for the 1967 Playboy calendar reads: "Make a date with these twelve Playmates. You won't want to miss a day with this delicious dozen . . . Provocative ... in captivating new poses. SHARE THE JOY!" Perhaps nostalgic older readers can hear an echo in these lines of the candy butcher during intermission at the burlesque show, peddling the latest "pictures direct from Paris with each and every luscious pose guaranteed the way you gentlemen like...
...something that wasn't a copy and yet followed the function." He took three years to brood before the public got its first look at his model. It turned out to be neither modern nor Renaissance but massively medieval, a bastion for books that seemed to echo H. H. Richardson's Trinity Church across Copley Square. But Johnson had bound his new addition with the old through a variety of formal devices: a common cornice line, an identically pitched roof, equally deepset windows.

The falsetto wailings of the Beach Boys and Beatle Paul McCartney all echo the early 19th century bel canto singers, he adds. Beyond their interpretive freedom, the major link between pop singers and the bel canto tradition is the microphone, which allows vocalists to sing more naturally, without straining to make them selves heard above a thundering opera house orchestra.
