Still erect and handsome, General of the Army Douglas MacArthur celebrated his 81st birthday in Manhattan as guest of honor at the 14th annual reunion of the senior officers of his World War II Southwest Pacific Area Command. The stag dinner, which is always held on MacArthur's birthday, is virtually his only public appearance.

...From my first birthday," the late George Grosz once told a friend, "I was homesick for America." As a boy in Germany, he devoured James Fenimore Cooper, was not yet 20 when he anglicized his first name. But when in 1932 he finally settled down in the U.S. at the age of 39, his violent, anguished art turned tranquil. Grosz was so entranced by his adopted country that everything he drew or painted-landscapes, cityscapes, nudes-was happy and uncritical. He later recovered some of his bite, but his early German work remains the most arresting. Last week Chicago...
