...Soul. Not even Nancy White was immune, for Brady, as her boss, took an active, daily interest in Bazaar. Nonetheless, both insisted last week that the parting was genuinely sorrowful. "I think he's nifty," said Nancy of Brady, who returned the compliment in a memo to the staff: "She's been the soul and sinew of Bazaar." From now on, though, the soul will be solely Brady...
