Company officials, especially Robert Danzig, general manager of Hearst newspapers, are chronically indecisive about a redesign, despite having commissioned five prototypes over the past eight years, including versions of a tabloid format favored by Acting Editor John Lindsay. He quit in disgust in February. Lindsay is not alone; the positions of publisher, managing and executive editor and art director remain vacant...
...central figures in this roundelay are a bewitchingly malign marquise (Lindsay Duncan), a good woman tempted to self-betrayal by love (Suzanne Burden), a virgin eager to surrender to ecstasy (Beatie Edney) and the highborn roue who is their sequential wooer (Alan Rickman).

The hats along bring a lump to the throat...

By the early '70s, Myerson had entered government, making headlines as New York City Mayor John Lindsay's crusading commissioner of consumer affairs. In the city's 1977 mayoral race, the former beauty queen hitched her star to Ed Koch, accompanying the bachelor Congressman throughout his campaign. Said Koch after his victory: "I couldn't have done it without her." Following Myerson's unsuccessful...
