Among them: Band-Aids, Stayfree maxi-pads, Ortho-Novum oral contraceptives, many baby products.

Nast also hit upon the heretical notion that a publication could prosper by appealing to a small, select audience. If he seemed aloof and distracted as he moved through the shoals and eddies of café society, it may have been because he was, at heart, a maker of magazines. He pioneered foreign editions (the British, French and German versions of Vogue, known...
