...analyst at Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, estimates that on average only 80 of the cosmetics sales dollar goes to pay for ingredients. The extra cost of the better ones used in prestige products comes nowhere near accounting for the difference in selling price. The real difference is in fancier packaging, splashier promotion, and the fact that the swankier cosmetics are made in limited quantity for sale through prestige stores, which raises the manufacturing cost per unit...
...patriarchs of abstract expressionism, moved out of Manhattan to live and work near East Hampton, among the flat green potato fields and salty inlets of Long Island. This span of time was for him, in the jargon of art history, a "period." His manner of painting changed, becoming looser, splashier, more atmospheric than it had ever been before.

...dropped his $3 million lawsuit against New York Gossip Columnist Earl Wilson, who wrote an unauthorized biography of the crooner, than he filed a $2 million complaint against Los Angeles Times Columnist Jody Jacobs.

He had exploited optical dazzle in works like After-image (1955) long before Op art was ever heard of. His use of chance and planned matrices foreshadowed the later interest in serial and process imagery, but he never got credit...
What was already one of the splashiest Palm Beach seasons in years suddenly got even splashier when Jacqueline and Aristotle Onassis steamed in from Haiti on their 325-ft. yacht Christina to visit Rose Kennedy. Hidden behind her usual oversize sunglasses, with a kerchief pulled low on her forehead, Jackie cut the press dead. Ari, tanned and shirtless, waved, smiled and carried on from the deck. Later Ari showed off his Greek dances at a party. Jackie said they were Greek by way of Argentina -Ari's home for a number of years. Ari was too busy dancing...
