Esquire: The Magazine for Men (November 1964) [cover: Elizabeth Taylor and her daughter Liza]

(Hayes, Harold, ed.) [contributions by Norman Mailer, Dorothy Parker, Stanley Elkin, and others]

Verlag: Esquire, Inc., Chicago, 1964

[a nice clean copy, with just a bit of minor damage to base of spine, and a soft diagonal crease at the upper right corner of the front cover]. (B&W/color photographs, ads, etc.) As with most issues of Esquire from this period, this one contains an embarrassment of riches, notably: Norman Mailer's article "In the Red Light: A History of the Republican Convention in 1964"; a related article by Rowland Evans and Robert Novak, "The Unmaking of a President," focusing on Richard Nixon's role at the convention; a profile of comedian Godfrey Cambridge, by Mel Gussow; David Halberstam's article "The Ugliest American in Vietnam," about John Paul Vann (a major source for Halberstam's early reporting from Vietnam, and later the central figure in Neil Sheehan's Pulitzer Prize-winning book "A Bright Shining Lie"); "an outside view" of Elizabeth Taylor and her family (the cover story) by Stanley Elkin; "The Corset," a short story by Evan S. Connell, Jr.; "New York at 6:30 P.M.," a kind-of profile of artist John Koch, by Dorothy Parker; and a brief photo-illustrated feature about actress Sue Lyon. The magazine's cover is a double-size foldout, with Liz Taylor on the front and daughter Liza on the inner flap. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 25932
