...when he started to develop MTV in mid-1980. "Where is the Woodstock generation?" Pittman asks. "They're all old and bald." Pittman, who is suited and blow-dried, went after what he called "the TV babies. The set is part of our lives, we want it to respond to our every need and desire." He corralled an ad agency that promptly recycled a famous cereal slogan of the early 1960s ("I want my Maypo!") and transformed the message into a new catch phrase, "I want my MTV!"

A CBS reporter tried to question my six-year-old daughter Kimberly, on her way to kindergarten : "Is your daddy home?" My kids were afraid to go out. Another...
...made distinctively American tailoring popular internationally. At Chanel, the talented, aggressive Lagerfeld seems to be mounting a direct challenge to Saint Laurent's supremacy in both the atelier and the boutique. As he did in the '70s when his couture values were threatened, Saint Laurent will probably respond with fiendish flare. If he does not, the reason may be that he is content to reaffirm those values quietly through his designs. One emerges from this retrospective sensing that this is a defiant stronghold of luxury and glamour. As Saint Laurent writes in an essay for the museum...
