RIP: 'Catalyst-in-Chief' Frank Zachary

Former editor of Town & Country and Holiday magazines was 101.

The term “catalyst-in-chief” was applied to Frank Zachary by author and scholar Steven Heller. With the news that Zachary, a celebrated art director and longtime Town & Country editor in chief, passed away Friday at the age of 101, it is Heller’s profile that provides some of the most eloquent in-the-moment distillations of this man’s many talents.
