...signal shows, he hit on having each artist design his own flag. His idea was so successful that other galleries followed suit, and Graham, along with Barbara Kulicke, wife of a New York painter and framemaker, founded the Betsy Ross Flag & Banner Co. Before long, 35 artists had made nylon flags to fly outdoors and felt banners to hang indoors like tapestries. So far, shows of their work have traveled to 30 U.S. museums and galleries.

Going up hand over hand on nylon ropes, they climbed only 420 ft. on the first day. The next day was almost as tough: 550 ft. Both nights they slept suspended in midair on ropes anchored to pitons, with sleeping bags pulled up to their shoulders and nylon tents over their heads to protect them from the bitter...
...enjoy picking at Macy's the fruits of capitalist enterprise. For those who cannot make the trip to Herald Square, Macy's has a personal shopping service. Among millions of routine assignments, it has dispatched six bottles of Coppertone to a sunburned Englishman in Libya and enough nylon material for the wife of a Kuwait sheik to make a tablecloth to accommodate 84 diners...
