...class of 1911. He was so handsome and rich that F. Scott Fitzgerald patterned Dick Diver, the golden-boy hero of Tender Is the Night, after him. For 22 years, until his retirement in 1956, Murphy was president of Fifth Avenue's chic Mark Cross leather-goods store, which his father began. Until his death last week at 76, he never bought any modern art or hung anything more than one Leger in his house. But during one short period of his life, Gerald Murphy did ten paintings that by their precisionist style and representation of commonplace objects stunningly...
...Though sales in most industries covered by the tax have steadily risen, many businessmen are convinced that expansion would have been much greater without the federal levy. Some industries claim to have been badly hit by the excise. It gets chief blame for the fact that more than 100 leather and luggage manufacturers have gone out of business since 1947 and that the fur industry has suffered a drop in union workers from 13,000 to 7,000 since 1946.

Golden Girl. Another hidebound type is Britain's strapping Honor Blackman, 37, who became celebrated for the array of leather suits, jackets, trench coats and boots that she sported in a Freudian private-eye TV series called The Avengers. As a result, so many women demanded leather garments in Britain that the price of shoes went up. Honor plays Pussy Galore, the leather-sheathed leader of an Amazonian flying circus, in Goldfinger, the new James Bond thriller. Another face from Britain in Goldfinger belongs to Shirley Eaton, 27, blonde alumna of endless Carry On . . . comedies. No leather for Shirley...
