Harper's Bazaar June 1961
Carmel Snow
Carmel Snow, our editor from 1932 - 1958 has been a legend in her time. Her unpredictable and beguiling Irish wit, the dignity and chic of her presence came to epitomize the world of fashion in all its capitals. Her authority was spirited, prophetic and absolute. Her many awards, including the Legion d'honneur and the Ordine della Stella della Solidarieta Italiana, could not measure her contribution. Beyond all was her almost mystical intuition with people; her ability to bypass barriers in her search for the gifted - writers, photographers, editors, artists, designers - and to kindle them towards excellence. This, and much more, is her legacy to us.

Ready to Start
"All glory,"wrote Eugene F. Ware in 1895,"comes from daring to begin."
Any of these three astronauts might have been chosen the first American to rocket through the troposphere and the stratosphere into the ionosphere, to become the hero of what T.S.Eliot defined as "a new beginning, a raid on the inarticulate." Commander Shepard was. Captain Grissom and Lieutenant Colonel Glenn will be.
