...vaguely funny article in last month's Holiday, Kahn described himself as a look-alike of Max Lerner if his hair is short, and a look-alike of Norman Mailer if his hair is long. He is a short man with a deep voice sometimes approaching a whisper. His features are cramped into the lower half of his face, leaving the upper half all forehead. When he interviewed me at dinner a few months ago, he smiled often, and his conversation was an anecdotal as his profile-writing. Keeping his notebook far over to the right of the table...
...commentator, at least, warned against going too far. "The man who killed King was sick," wrote Max Lerner, "and there are a lot of sick people in America. But it is folly to jump from this to a total indictment of a total nation." The wave of mourning that has swept the nation, continued Lerner, is "composed of equal parts of authentic sorrow, of guilt feelings and the fake-hypocritical. There are blacks who, after his death, made a mystique of destroying the cities he wanted to save, and there are whites so guilt-ridden and impassioned that their feeling...

By then he was vastly overextended. When grandly predicted earnings failed to materialize, McCrory's stock tumbled and Riklis' entire colossus seemed headed for collapse. "God," wailed Riklis at one point, "has added to our agonies...
Vatentino was in New York to help Lord & Taylor launch a collection of 22 pieces copied from his spring and summer show. The lift-off was phenomenal. Some of the originals in fact, never made it to the show; Mrs. Alan Jay Lerner made off with a $1,000 caped white dress with a jeweled belt before it hit the runway. In five days the store sold copies of more than 400 dresses ($90 to $175) and 300 coats ($160 to $495), plus hundreds of shoes and berets. Favorite accessory: a six-foot-long floating Isadora Duncan sea of bias...
