...returned to America, still an unknown, and carved her name into more small books of poetry. Seventh Heaven began with a lot of lesbian imagery. Then came another silver of a tome, this one more heterosexual bent. She hated her female body from the beginning...
Fashion Doyenne Diana Vreeland, who reigned at Harper's Bazaar and then Vogue for more than three decades and has always favored European designers, concedes that the men and women on Seventh Avenue today "have a great fastidiousness, simplicity, and everyday elegance that is wonderful and very American.

Any day now, Jockey Willie Shoemaker, 44, will do it in horseracing, riding a thoroughbred to victory No. 7,000, setting another of sport's Olympian records for generations to test against. By week's end "Shoe," 4 ft. 11½ in., was one win away, and well past the 6,032 mark set in 1966 by John Longden...
