...then, on the cold, wet night of December eleventh, 1958--just eight short months after John Ciardi had despaired of a major professional production for years to come--on the stage of the ANTA Theatre, at the corner of 52nd Street and Broadway, Archibald MacLeish's "play in verse" received its New York City premiere. The production had enlisted a somewhat disparate but unquestionably distinguished group of the biggest talents in the business: Elia Kazan, Boris Aronson, Raymond Massey, Christopher Plummer, Pat Hingle.

Into the Wall Street Journal went a straight-faced Tiffany ad illustrating a golf putter with a head of 14-karat gold. Price: $1,475. At the bottom of the ad, in the best Wall Street tradition, Tiffany added a line similar to those that appear on security-offering notices: "This advertisement appears for the record...
North by Northwest. Director Hitchcock's compass points both to Gorky Street and Madison Avenue, with a smooth adman (Gary Grant) accidentally and entertainingly caught in the grasp of a sly spy (James Mason) and his secret weapon (Eva Marie Saint...
