...prize without even trying. Svetlana's lawyer, Edward S. Greenbaum, simply phoned his old friend Cass Canfield, Harper's chairman. The motive, though, was something more than friendship. What helps Harper to beat all competition for big books by big names is a secret weapon named Evan Welling Thomas 2nd-the amiably persistent editor who has polished more books by important public figures than anyone else in publishing...
Harper & Row, something of a Kennedy "house," was chosen to be the publisher. Harper Executive Vice President Evan W. Thomas II, son of quadrennial Socialist Presidential Candidate Norman Thomas, had edited Jack Kennedy's Profiles in Courage, Bobby's The Enemy Within, ex-Presidential Speechwriter Theodore Sorensen's Kennedy. Thomas foresaw trouble, at first declined the offer to edit and publish the book. But Bobby finally persuaded him. All profits after the first printing were to go to the John F.

Although the catalogue, by Anne Coffin Hanson, art history professor at Bryn Mawr, is a collector's item for art scholars, the chronological exhibition itself will be seen again only at the Art Institute of Chicago...
...diamonds are neglected, though, while Director Joseph Losey (The Servant) and Scenarist Evan Jones improvise humorous asides that savor of sick sex and smartness. As Modesty's aide-de-camp and partner in song (this is the anything-goes brand of moviemaking), Terence Stamp plays a knife-wielding thug who first appears abed with a dark-skinned trollop, throws a shiv after her as she dresses and steals away. Modesty's archfoe is Gabriel (Dirk Bogarde), a faggoty Edwardian fop who flounces around an op-art seaside castle that looks rather like marzipan. Under a lavender parasol...
