They pursued him with subpoenas and summonses, with private dicks and dirty tricks and the costliest battery of lawyers ever assembled. Through twelve incredible years of litigation, Howard Robard Hughes Jr. remained the Great American Snark-invisible, unreachable, unpredictable...
...microphones become the pulpits from which bulletins and statements issue forth: ubiquitous, invisible cameras whisk us from the streets of Whittier to the airports of Latin America to the state rooms of the White House. the confusion is over-whelming, despite the feverish order De Antonio imposes on his snark hunt. Boyish Richard Nixons jostle elbows with thuggish images of President Nixons. But nowhere is the mystery of the man penetrated.

LaRoche, McCaffrey & McCall has just picked up a half interest in Aqua Dynamics Corp. of Wareham, Mass., which cultivates oysters. Doyle Dane Bernbach agreed to purchase Snark Products Inc.

Originally used by London booksellers to keep their wares free from fog and grime, the book-jacket underwent a crucial metamorphosis when Lewis Carroll's The Hunting of the Snark came out in 1876. Snark's humble grey wrapper shouted critical praise for the two Alice books. As the first known jacket to carry advertisements, it was the ancestor of the modern commercial jacket. The English publisher who pioneered designs for fiction jackets was T. Fisher Unwin. As early...
