...sisters Rosensweig have gathered in London for the 54th birthday of the eldest sister, Sara Goode, a London banker. Gorgeous Teitelbaum, a radio talk show host and housewife, is leading the Newton Temple Beth-El Sisterhood on a tour of London. The youngest, Pfeni Rosensweig, is a travel writer just in from Bombay.

After New York University, he worked for CBS as a newswriter, then in 1966 moved to Los Angeles to make TV documentaries. Three years later, he created the series Room 222, produced by Allan Burns. It was a hit, and the two left to hatch a show for Mary Tyler Moore...
...this magazine -- its cover images, its typefaces, its mixtures of text, photographs and illustrations -- has been the responsibility of art director Rudy Hoglund.
