...Cass has a curiously susceptible lady psychiatrist); the style is full of mannerisms and cultural snobberies, e.g., people are not openmouthed but bouche-bée. And how is the reader to care about a heroine who says, "Just give me the coup de grace and then have the gráce to leave graciously...
...emphasize the sexy look, Jacques Esterel showed-for low-slung pants-a tasseled gold button that glints, eyelike, in the navel. Madame Grès won top engineering honors for a bareback bikini that anybody can make at home with three or four pot holders and a long, thin necktie. For evening wear, Grès grew more conservative: one closely draped jersey dress covered the midriff completely, except for two good-sized diamond-shaped picture windows just south of the rib cage. Jules Crahay of Nina Ricci finally closed the neckline of one dress at the navel. Michel Goma...
...hunters opened fire. The few Belchen that tried to escape were blasted out of the sky or cut down before they could finish their flailing, loonlike takeoff. The rest of the birds were slaughtered where they sat. Boat oars were used to administer the coup de grâce. Explained one hunter: "If we waited for them to get into the air, we could wait all day.

Rita, 42 when this picture was made, and Rex, 53, are both old enough to know better...
...Collier's (d. 1957 with 4,165,000 circulation), Woman's Home Companion (4,225,000 when it died by the same stroke of the Crowell-Collier ax), Country Gentleman (which perished in 1955 with 2,566,000 circulation). Only last month, Esquire administered the coup de grâce to its sister publication, Coronet, which had a paid circulation of 3,122,628. Some of the newcomers have begun to die off too: The American Gun perished this summer after three issues; Music, planned as a hard-cover bimonthly covering the field from jazz to opera, still...
