Debuting as a contributing editor of Harper's Bazaar, Best-Dressed Beauty Mrs. Loel Guinness, 48, brightened the current issue with a piece titled "Gloria Guinness on Elegance." What's elegance all about? Well, her list of examples, reading like half a dozen extra choruses of Cole Porter's You're the Top, offers the palm to such persons and things as the philosophy of Plato, the Ferrari automobile, Tolstoy, the Place Vendôme in Paris, Charlie Chaplin, Shakespeare, the skyscraper, the model T Ford, and Gary Cooper. Noticeably absent was Mrs. Guinness herself...
While we are knocking the South with every issue by pouring salt in old wounds, let's add a little pepper to the salad by mentioning that in recent years the South was fertile enough to produce a good crop of writers: Wolfe, Faulkner, Harper Lee and Margaret Mitchell, plus a Barkley, Dean Rusk, Richard Russell, Byrd, Hodges, Helen Keller, Billy Graham and Dinah Shore, plus the core of the space program for good measure...
...advertiser calls it "a consumer magazine with strong trade influence." To others, it is "a trade magazine with strong consumer influence." In either case, it managed to carry more fashion advertising than Vogue or Harper's Bazaar last year even though it missed an entire month's publication.

For them, biography is not simply a record of "what happened when," but an explanation of how a person understood himself in the context of history. "Our existential experience is the condition for our interest in the historical...
...Consensus Religion." One newly published Marty effort is a lively introduction to his prickly, pithy style and his new Frontiersy eagerness to get U.S. Protestants moving again. In Second Chance for American Protestants (Harper & Row; $3.50), he argues that the churches are being "displaced" from their comfortable positions of influence in the U.S.; in an increasingly religionless world Christians are becoming once again, in the Biblical phrase, "strangers and exiles." This can be well and good, says Marty. The beliefs of Protestant churches have, in the U.S., formed the basis for a "consensus religion," which now has lost its impact...
