...days remember a pretty, lively girl with "gorgeous, gorgeous" skin. From the time Esty decided that something might be done with Uncle John's skin formulas, she worked tirelessly behind cramped counters, in the waiting rooms of store buyers, pushing, touching, smearing, charming, hectoring. When she first met Helena Rubinstein, she told her that Lauder Creme Pack would do much to smooth out Madame's neck. (Decades later she astounded Jeane Kirkpatrick with the suggestion that her clothes aged her. "You mean you don't like what I'm wearing?" gasped the Ambassador...
...Wrote is that, for all the echoes of Agatha Christie, Lansbury is not playing Miss Marple; the irony of Crazy Like a Fox is that Jack Warden is. As a gruffly eccentric middle-aged private eye, he delights in getting his son, a button-down lawyer played by John Rubinstein, involved in oddball cases. Crazy Like a Fox is one of those shows where the car chases are accompanied by jaunty music, as if to say it's all in fun. With some clever plots and a pair of appealing stars, it frequently...

Despite all this ingenuity, the Red Couch never manages to attain true metaphoric nirvana, but it manages to reach the state of a truly useful photographic tool for two talented photographers...
...taxicab, the blue of the sky on Kennedy's Inauguration Day, the pink of a Provence carnation. Her hero is her husband of 46 years, whom she refers to almost solely in terms of his exquisite clothes-felt hats as smooth as satin, overcoats that Garbo loved. Helena Rubinstein is remembered for the beauty of her buttonholes, Clark Gable for the best eyelashes she ever saw. And if the tall stories about kings and playboys often ravel, the shrewdness and impersonal good humor of the storyteller are intact. Cole Porter, of course, wrote a couplet about Vreeland: "Here...
