Kathleen, 29, is a high-salaried Manhattan ad executive (Revlon, Maiden Form) and Maureen, 27, is the author of the perennial bestseller Seventeenth Slimmer and a Ladies' Home Journal editor. (Her husband, Mystery Writer William McGivern, resignedly calls himself "the fifth Daly sister.") On the Dodd, Mead list this year, the Daly-McGivern clan will be responsible for eleven titles...
