Fire & Ice: The End (of Summer)

I’ve switched on Chapter 18 of Fire & Ice. (You already have Chapters 1 thru 17.) It’s called “Follow the Lauder” and recounts some of the marketing wars — even wire-tapping — that were the unseen subtext as you strolled through the ground-floor department-store aisles.

And, as I trust you have scheduled for yourself a wonderfully relaxing Labor Day weekend, here are the final two chapters as well, 19 and 20.

Charles Revson was some piece of work.
