Rhythm 21 consisted of squares, hypnotically regrouping themselves into evolving sets of Mondrians. Later films employed surrealistic glass eyes and bowler hats skittering through the air. An outspoken opponent of Nazism, Richter was forced to flee Germany and emigrated to the U.S., where he produced Dreams That Money Can Buy, a surrealist fantasy starring his fellow émigrés Duchamp...
George Romney may not be a hotshot bowler, but he is no quitter. To knock down all ten duckpins at an alley at Franklin, N.H., he took 34 balls.

Which may be a source of some disappointment to her father René, who as France's famed "Crocodile" of the 1920s, twice won the U.S. and Wimbledon championships. But girls are supposed to take after their mothers anyway, and Catherine's mother, the former Simone Thion de la Chaume, is a golfer-the winner of six French amateur titles.
