...sale" ad ran in the Saturday Review: "Robert Frost house. Shaftsbury, Vermont. 150-year-old Cape Cod. Three fireplaces. 150 acres. Studio. Barn. Small pond. Spectacular view. $27,500." Poet Frost, 88, suffering from blood clots and now in a Boston hospital, has not lived in the house since 1939, after his wife died and he turned it over to his daughter-in-law and grandson, Naval Architect William Prescot Frost.

...receive 56 canvases heisted last year in one of the Riviera's most daring fric-fracs (TIME. July 28, 1961). Tipped off by an anonymous letter to France's Minister for Cultural Affairs Andre Malraux, police found the robbers' cache stashed away in a dilapidated barn 50 miles west of Paris. The $1,500,000 worth of art, including works by Matisse, Dufy, Utrillo and Bonnard, had come through the ordeal almost unscathed; among the rolled-up canvases, only two were slightly damaged...
