When we think of the baby-boomer bible, Rolling Stone, we tend to think of Jann Wenner and Annie Leibovitz and even Cameron Crowe (“Almost Famous”).

As someone – Babe Paley? The Duchess of Windsor? – once said, “You can never be too thin or too rich.” Add “or too white,” and you’ve got the Abercrombie and Fitch mantra of the late’90s ...
