...snobbery, exclusivity, and delight in sheer expense. It is doubtful that any but the pretentious rich would jump for joy the way a male model does in one ad--over nine pairs of new shoes in a full page spread. And there are the ubiquitous pictures of a Calvin Klein damsel in satiny "at-home" clothes or a Matisse-like line drawing publicizing Yves St. Laurent's stylish scraps...
Eckstein sold his idea to Wall Street's Donald Marron, chief executive of Mitchell, Hutchins, the investment advisory firm.* In 1969 it raised $1.1 million in seed money and became a founding partner in the company. DRI was not the first firm to market econometric forecasts; Lawrence Klein, who developed an econometric model of the U.S. economy shortly after World War II, has been selling forecasts from his famous Wharton School model for five years longer. But Eckstein's marketing flair and his computer time-sharing innovation have made DRI by far the biggest in the field...
Most of those well-known characters-the real-life participants in Watergate-were not talking about the series. Some of them, like H.R. Haldeman, portrayed by Robert Vaughn with cool viciousness, are now in prison.

The guests included Woody Allen, Al Pacino, Andy Warhol and Designer Calvin Klein. At One Fifth, a Greenwich Village restaurant decorated with fittings from the cruise ship R.M.S. Caronia, a patron quipped: "We've hit an iceberg." Pianist Nat Jones scrounged a candle to light his keyboard and played It Ain't Necessarily So. Unfortunately...
Those two rakish characters with derbies and cane are not refugees from a ragtime show but Jimmy Carter's good ole boys Hamilton Jordan and Jody Powell. When Rolling Stone Reporter Joe Klein suggested that Ham and Jody dress up like Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid for a May 19 article on "The White House Whiz Kids," the pair figured, why not? Photographer Annie Leibovitz picked up some odds and ends from a costume shop and the final ensemble wound up looking more like a cross between Butch Cassidy and The Sting...
