They finally did it! We'd heard a rumor that H&H wanted to blow out the front page like a big glossy magazine, and they've done it today.

With a huge Margaret Bourke-White photo of the top of the Chrysler Building covering the ENTIRE page, H&H expends the entire issue on the 75th anniversary of....the Chrysler Building. Despite the fanfare and this spectacular icon, there is something innately depressing about the issue as it drums up The Jazz Age and..... The Depression. We are looking forward to next week already.
