...want to limit or end U.S. arms sales abroad; there was also the problem that deliveries already promised are simply not coming through. For at least four years, Washington repeatedly turned down Hussein's requests for some jet fighters. Not until Russia offered the King null at a bargain $70,000 per plane last year did the Administration finally decide to sell Hussein 36 F-104s. The shipment has yet to arrive. The Shah also complained that the U.S. has yet to deliver the two squadrons of F-4 Phantoms that were promised to Iran...

When the network's option finally ran out this year, bidding understandably leaped somewhere over the rainbow. MGM asked for $1,000,000 per showing, almost the same rate as the record $2,300,000 it received from ABC this year for the first two TV reruns of Marlon Brando's Mutiny on the Bounty...

Pioneer Jarves, whose collection was eventually auctioned off to cover his debts and bought by Yale for a bargain $22,000, is represented in the CRIA exhibit by a Sienese wood panel Annunciation, by Francesco di Giorgio and Neroccio dei Landi. The precise taste of turn-of-the-century Railway Heir Henry Walters is illustrated by the three exquisitely patinaed bronzes lent by the Walters Art Gallery, in Baltimore, which he founded. The spirit of J. P. Morgan...
