50 Years Ago

For days afterward, Americans walked about in a comfortable glow, as if weightless themselves. Gone was the sense that the nation was somehow losing its technological genius; gone was the feeling that America’s traditional self-reliance, modesty, and courage had been corrupted by the soft, mechanized affluence of modern life. In the short span of four hours and 56 minutes, on February 20,...

Whitney Houston

Sure, Whitney Houston, 21, is gorgeous (she’s been a model since she was 16). Sure, she comes from a talented family (her mother is the well-known soul singer Cissy Houston and her first cousin is Dionne Warwick).

Happy 70th Barry Diller!

Although the paperazzis’ flashbulbs still light up like fireflies every time she attends a celebrity-drawing event, her nights are spent either working or making the rounds of film screenings with Barry Diller, chairman of the board of Paramount Pictures. At 34, Diller is as much a boy wonder as von Furstenberg is a superwoman and, singularly underwhelmed by her title, he refers to her as...

In my view, our beastliness, as it were,… The ancient traditions of religions based on plants are considered strange, even...
