Book Co. of America. Where the “Co.” stands for “Con Job.”

Did Malcolm Muggeridge’s lust for power know no bounds?

I nominate this for the title of the most Sixties* cover to have ever appeared on GSS.
*The Mad Men Sixties, that is, not the Sixties that started in 1968.

Bertrand Russell and the sex-bomb.

I’ve got the theme from ‘Dave Allen at Large’ running in my head.

Ethel waved her magic wand, recited the words of the mystic spell…and, rather than making her tycoon husband vanish, lost the top button to her kimono.

I wonder what happened to that woman’s clothing, that she’s clearly been forced to cover up with simply a coat. I suspect the only reason that the old man hasn’t noticed yet is because he’s too preoccupied with that rocket, but when he’s done . . . eeh.

He has dollar signs on his chair. $_$

He has a plaid suit over a paisley vest, the official power suit of ’60’s tycoons.

@DSWBT – He has a $ on his vest also. That’s how tycoons roll.

Agent: Felix, ‘Lix baby, I know you like writing SF, but frankly, this is terrible. OK, the cheesy boobs sold a few copies to the pimpled set, but nobody’s taking you seriously. Now, you sit down at that piano and gimme a concerto so we can get back to raking in the do-re-me! Leave that SF scam to Jimmy Baen.

Dollar signs everywhere? Maybe he wants to get in Ayn Rand’s gulch.

@Ray P – Yes, even $ on the rocket!
Here is a sneak peak at the finished portrait.

I would like to commend Alice for her poem, which is probably better than the book and certainly better than the cover.
@Francis Boyle: I’m certain I saw one of the junior ad guys at Sterling Cooper reading this. Possibly writing this. (one of them wrote SF, Wiki reminds me!)

It looks like a 1960s magazine perfume ad.

The rocket isn’t traveling upwards, they’re all in free fall downwards.
