...Acid Bath. Once Costantini has a drawing or plaster model in hand, he seeks out the glass blower he feels particularly suited to the work. "We drink a glass of wine and talk," he says, "then another glass of wine and talk some more." Costantini selects the colors, and the tortuous work of blowing and shaping begins. For Ernst's tall, reddish-brown Poet, topped by a sharp-beaked head with a hole for an eye, the glassworker at some stages had the equivalent of a 100-lb. weight at the end of his long metal blowpipe. Le Corbusier...
Life Upside Down. Slight, smiling Jacques (Charles Denner) seems to be an ordinary little man working in an ordinary little real estate office in Paris. He lives with Viviane (Anna Gaylor), an ordinary little model who loves to look at herself in commercials and magazine ads. While taking a bath one afternoon, Jacques experiences a kind of ecstasy of self-absorption so powerful that he fails to notice that Viviane has come home and is chattering away at him.

Manhattan's mightiest piece of modern sculpture was wrestled into place pretty much the way marbles were muscled into place in Michelangelo's day.

Whirlpool Bath. The Comal River in New Braunfels, Texas, is advertised by the Chamber of Commerce as the shortest river in the world, running only four miles from its spring-fed source until it spills into the larger Guadalupe River. But some 1,200 tubers flock to it on Sunday afternoons, mostly to ride the steep, 350-yd. stretch where the river swirls like a whirlpool bath. For the sake of togetherness, Texas tubers frequently link feet under arms and form an enormous water snake composed of 40 or 50 tubers. At the end of the run, few tubers have...
