He was photographed, celebrity-style, in his midnight blue Maserati by Vogue and Harper's Bazaar. His first book, Delirious New York, was rereleased and sold 28,000 copies...
This is only the beginning: over the next few years Treasury plans to redesign every note except the $1 bill. If blown-up portraits of Lincoln and Hamilton stare out at us the way Franklin's does, the changes will require a significant psychological adjustment even on the part of Americans...
