1967 BEST & BRIGHTEST “What do you think of the Best-Dressed List?” Town & Country asked in 1967. “I throw [the ballot] in the nearest wastebasket,” designer James Galanos said. Undaunted, the magazine published a register of 15 fashionable New Yorkers, including Marisa Berenson, whose looks “do not require the glitter of jewels.” Though that emerald and diamond brooch does bring out the green in her eyes!…

On my morning crosstown walk from Grand Central Terminal to the Hearst Tower, I usually weave through Rockefeller Center, where I pass by the headquarters of Christie’s. It owns half a city block of display windows, in which, as the department store of billionaires, it exhibits blown-up posters of the trophy art it has assembled for each auction scheduled on the calendar. In anticipation of November’s postwar and contemporary sale, an impressive selection of the latest consignments was recently unveiled. Yet, standing there on the leafy sidewalk—in front of a nobly existential Giacometti, a fleshy Freud, a Picasso full of thrust and parry, and other iconic works by the handful of artists guaranteed to knock down plutocratic prices—I had the urge to leave instead of look. The Magritte in the…
LESLEY M.M. BLUME For “MUSE AND MASTER” (page 102), Blume visited the Manhattan home of painter (and Picasso paramour) Françoise Gilot. “It was like walking through the looking glass into another world, one filled with ghosts of some of the 20th century’s greatest creative minds,” says the New York City–based journalist, who writes about cultural history. Her next book, Everybody Behaves Badly, out in June, documents the real-life events that inspired Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises. ERIC KONIGSBERG “The only certainty for me was what a hell this must be for a child’s parents— both the accuser’s and the accused’s,” says the writer about the recent sex scandal at St. Paul’s—the elite boarding school in New Hampshire—which is the subject of this month’s Manners and Misdemeanors column, “ANNUS HORRIBILIS”…
HORN OF PLENTY It’s not often that a rhino makes it onto a cover with the lovely Uma Thurman [“Africa’s Ark,” October]. And how wonderful to see a positive article about an African country doing all the “right stuff.” Botswana should be an example to many other countries with endangered species. It would have been super to have included a photo of those two handsome Khamas: the president and the minister. The world needs more leaders in their mold. Barbara Belding, SANTA FE, NM Your October story may have been well meaning in raising the awareness of the plight of rhinos. But to give away the locations and destinations, along with a map, simply adds to the poachers’ arsenal. Now they know where to go to hunt the remaining animals!…
