...advertiser calls it "a consumer magazine with strong trade influence." To others, it is "a trade magazine with strong consumer influence." In either case, it managed to carry more fashion advertising than Vogue or Harper's Bazaar last year even though it missed an entire month's publication. Among cloak-and-suiters it is known-half affectionately and half derisively-as "The Girdle Gazette." It is the New York Times Sunday Magazine, one of the more curious phenomena of U.S. journalism...
...Vreeland took over Vogue's helm only four months ago on the retirement of longtime (30 years) Editor Jessica Daves. Other editors, such as Harper's Bazaar's thoughtful, tranquil Nancy White, function in an atmosphere of relative calm; not so Deeann.

All the excitement was over the social reforms of Iran's 43-year-old king of kings, Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlevi. After years of hesitation, the Shah at last was tearing the land from Iran's feudal village owners and religious leaders, distributing it to the peasants, and forcing factory owners to give workers a 20% share of their profits...
Looking Britishly baggy but craggily handsome, the gloomy prophet of impending automation, Novelist Aldous Huxley, 68, bravely entered the chic new world of fashion modeling. He consented to pose for Harper's Bazaar with a woolen-suited mannequin at his side. "It was no trouble at all to get him," said a Harper's editor. "A man that age enjoys having a pretty girl...
