Unlike Charles Revson, Bergerac does not devise new colors or designs; that is done by Cosmetic and Fragrance President Paul Woolard and executives grouped into seven "houses," which are practically minicompanies, each concentrating on a particular price range and type of customer. But Bergerac must approve all major changes, and he is an exacting judge with an eye for detail. The model in the Jontue ads is pictured leading a white horse; to Outdoorsman Bergerac the first horse that subordinates showed him looked like a sway-backed plow dragger. The boss bought his admen a book on horses and insisted...
...Prairie line of five Swiss-made "miracle" creams and lotions that are sold at some department stores. The $70 Treatment Cream contains live cells from sheep placenta, ostensibly to retard aging. Probably the most successful of the full lines is Estée Lauder's Clinique, consisting of seven products concocted with the help of dermatologists and priced from $6.50 to $7.50 each.

The reason: a 30-year-old federal law forbidding children under 14 to work for pay. The law was designed to prevent mine operators and the like from exploiting youngsters...
...Britons watch a seven-part series titled Edward and Mrs. Simpson on the telly, the lady herself lies ailing and aggrieved in her Paris villa. The Duchess of Windsor, now 82, is said to feel that the show portrays her as the future King's "mistress" and a "cheap adventuress." Comes the word from her lawyer, Suzanne Blum: "She was the reluctant partner. The King did not want a mistress, and if he had he would not have abdicated. He wanted a wife and the support of one woman for the rest of his life." To prove...
