...fashion show of English styles on sale at I. Magnin & Co., and indeed, Margaret's whole trip-together with her top-secret wardrobe-is meant, among other things, to boost Britain's $10 million-a-year fashion trade with the U.S. For the luncheon, Margaret wore a silver-and-white brocade dress with matching coat, a mink hat and a spray of diamonds. For U.S. women, who are continually perplexed by British royalty's choice of clothes, the New York Times's Charlotte Curtis elucidated: "It is the kind of thing British royalty often wears, whether...
...Histadrut elections, in fact, may have been responsible for Mapai's eventual triumph. Shocked by their results, Eshkol fired his campaign managers, revved up his multimillion-dollar campaign. Chief strategist and fund raiser: silver-tongued Finance Minister Pinhas Sapir. Publicity director: equally eloquent Deputy Premier Abba Eban, former Ambassador to the United Nations.

Long concentrated in the Midwest and West, May moved into the populous Northeast for the first time by buying, for $41 million, Hartford's 118-year-old G. Fox & Co. Silver to Underwear. The May Co. was as much chosen as choosing. Family-owned Fox has been dominated for 30 years by Mrs. Beatrice Fox Auerbach, who is now 78. Approached by several stores, she picked the May Co. partly because Morton May, like herself, is a third-generation merchant...
