...Henry Moore sculpture at the distinguished Felix Landau Gallery to paintings by Pop Artist Billy Al Bengston at the Ferus Gallery. Billy Al does canvases with titles like Rock, Troy, Tyrone, Sterling. One called Fabian consists of large master-sergeant stripes against a background of orange and blue-grey doughnut shapes. It is social comment, Billy Al explains: everyone wants to be topkick. At the Heritage Gallery, a lumpy figurative painting by Rod Briggs lets out wails every time a viewer's shadow falls upon its built-in electric...
...Masons. Blessed with a clay that bakes into beautiful glazed bricks, Iran uses them extensively in its architecture; but the art of glazing had slipped to the point that the architects had difficulty in finding an artisan who could make the green, blue-grey and brown bricks needed for the ceiling.

The two men settled down in armchairs behind windows overlooking a superbly manicured lawn; between the chairs was a glass table, holding French and American cigarettes.

In his jovial moments he bellows; at his most earnest his voice modulates softly and melodiously. He changes his expression in a flicker; impressing the curious stranger, his small, blue-grey eyes grow bluer, his smile brightens. But he can harden his massive face when he talks to a group of underlings; on such occasions, his rat-a-tat of verbiage has the sound of a man chewing firecrackers...
