Beneath the entertaining detective-chase motif, however, lurks the shadow of the seemier aspects of art acquisition. Even Hoving cannot help but allude to that most popular of methods of removing a piece from the bosom of its native country--smuggling. Harry Sperling, "The world's leading expert in arranging that almost any work of art you've seen, any place in the world, suddenly turns up safe and sound in Switzerland, eminently exportable to the United States," explains his technique to Hoving, a quick study...
DIED. Paul Green, 87, dramatist and screenwriter whose Broadway successes include the 1926 Pulitzer-prizewinning In Abraham's Bosom and the 1936 antiwar play Johnny Johnson, and who in 1937 wrote the historical spectacle The Lost Colony, the first of his 15 outdoor "symphonic dramas" that are staged across the country, mostly for summer tourists; in Chapel Hill...

The first ep isode is as silly as its prem ise: two guys dress as women to secure lodging in an all-girl hotel. Some Like It Hot this is not, and some of the jokes are more than nine days...
...artist. In just two years, Babyland has "delivered" 50,000 babies at prices of $125 to $200 each, which Roberts insists on calling adoption fees. "You don't buy them, you adopt them," said one middle-aged Miami woman, pressing a fat baby boy doll to her ample bosom. To enhance the illusion, all Babyland employees are required to dress as hospital staff; Roberts is the white-coated "doctor." Customers-or rather, prospective parents-must raise their right hands and take an oath to love and care for their little charges. At the Georgia plant and a branch "adoption...
