...seven figures. Lauren Hutton in 1973 signed an exclusive contract with Revlon. Tiegs has a two-year deal with Sears under which she lends her name to a line of jeans and tops and receives more than $1 million, plus a share of the profits. The fine-boned Norwegian-American brunette who calls herself Clotilde is the Shiseido cosmetics girl in Japan and the Ralph Lauren girl in the U.S. (In this business in which young girls are women, the women are still girls; the terminology of liberation seems to have had no effect.)

...stories more and more through dialogue. Most important of all, the shock of the Guy Domville fiasco brought to life emotions James had half suppressed until then, including perverse love.

Holand, a Norwegian-American who has long championed the Kensington Stone. In 1356, according to Holand, King Magnus Ericksson of Sweden and Norway sent an expedition under Powell Knutsson to see what had happened to the Norse colonies in Greenland. When they found that the colonists were dead or had moved elsewhere, Knutsson's Norsemen pushed farther west. Eventually they reached Hudson Bay, and then the Great Lakes...
