In the summer of 1972, Andy Warhol bought a house in the historic fishing village of Montauk. The town was never the same again. Read Vincent Fremont's piece (as told to Legs McNeil) on Warhol's Factory by the sea and the visitors it lured, from Jackie O and Lee Radziwill to Truman Capote and Peter Beard, and more of my favorite stories—Jackie Collins's daughter on Hollywood Wives at 40; the women who made the Rolling Stones; private jets v. the climate—in the newest issue of AIR MAIL. —Nathan King, Deputy Editor
