...libido--Malone is gloriously handsome, haunted by a vision of ideal love unattainable in a sterile, superficial homosexual world, Gatsby in drag; Sutherland, a Quentin Crisp, queer before it became chic, is doomed by his undersized member, a homosexual leper. With his speed and Quaaludes, his chiffons and Estee Lauder and bridge games and Egyptian groupies, Sutherland is Holleran's one truly brilliant creation. Sutherland provides much of the bitchy humor that makes Dancer, if nothing else, one of the funnier books of the year...
...Revlon does stumble, plenty of competitors are waiting to snatch away its customers. Estée Lauder, a family-owned company that stresses a theme of understated elegance in its promotions, concentrates entirely on prestige stores and outsells Revlon in them 3 to 1.

In the rush to sign up big-name clothes designers to put their names on perfumes, other firms have been quite as aggressive as Revlon.

Probably the most successful of the full lines is Estée Lauder's Clinique, consisting of seven products concocted with the help of dermatologists and priced from $6.50 to $7.50 each. In many department stores, the Clinique counter resembles a laboratory, where the saleswomen wear white uniforms and products are packaged in antiseptic green. On the counter sits a computer-like...
Tunney retired undefeated, the only modern heavyweight champion besides Rocky Marciano smart enough to quit at the top, and settled into a successful business career. He lived quietly with his wife Polly Lauder and four children in Greenwich, Conn. In 1971 the fighter's son, John, became U.S. Senator from California. As time went by, Tunney came to be friends with Dempsey. The old foes were thought of together, two men joined by their past. When Tunney's death was reported, Dempsey's wife Deanna said of her ailing husband, "He is taking it very badly. You must remember Gene...
