...Adolfo salon proved such an instant success that Blass was repaid in full in less than a year, and Adolfo settled down to a clientele so devoted, he had almost no need to advertise. Word of mouth, from the right mouths, was enough. "My customers are my public relations," he says. "I don't call them. They call me." It might be Manhattan Socialite Mrs. Joseph A.

It has apparently forgotten the black markets and the gray markets that controls produced during World...
Consider the case of Ben Moseley and Pierce Jay. Both are Yalemen, both class of '42. Ben is a scholarship student from a public high school in Providence, Pierce a cosmopolitan product of the church school system. Ben is quiet, competent, dullish; he studies and plods and runs the campus laundry. Pierce is flamboyant, brilliant, a dazzler in every way; he downs his drinks with gusto, drives fast cars and is the spunky campus cutup...
