...influence in a country still ruled in spirit, if not in fact, by the reactionary mullahs. Bands of wolves prowl openly through the unpaved streets of the capital city of Kabul (pronounced cobble). Native women are seldom seen out of doors, and Western women who appear in the bazaar without wearing a veil are attacked and spat upon...
Debuting as a contributing editor of Harper's Bazaar, Best-Dressed Beauty Mrs. Loel Guinness, 48, brightened the current issue with a piece titled "Gloria Guinness on Elegance." What's elegance all about? Well, her list of examples, reading like half a dozen extra choruses of Cole Porter's You're the Top, offers the palm to such persons and things as the philosophy of Plato, the Ferrari automobile, Tolstoy, the Place Vendôme in Paris, Charlie Chaplin, Shakespeare, the skyscraper, the model T Ford, and Gary Cooper.

Other editors, such as Harper's Bazaar's thoughtful, tranquil Nancy White, function in an atmosphere of relative calm; not so Deeann.

She tore in and out of offices, trailing hats, belts, secretaries and photographers behind her, churned around designers at work, doing a touch of pinning here and there, patted on makeup...
...Rivals. No one could mistake the Big Two-Editors Nancy White of Harper's Bazaar and Diana Vreeland of Vogue (known to every friend and nonfriend in the trade as "Dee-ann"). Flanked by a squadron of outriders, they did not so much attend a show as occupy it. Miss White, a nonviolently well-dressed woman, with her broken wrist (the result of a slip on the ice before she left the U.S.) bound in a sling that changed daily with her outfit, got the honored spot on Coco Chanel's couch; but Mrs. Vreeland, turbaned, fiery-eyed...
