...none too soon. At the site of the nosed-in plane, police found a hastily buried box. What that box contained the police refused to say, but whatever it was prompted India's Central Bureau of Investigation to assign a team of topflight investigators to try and track down Walcott. His trail led first to Europe again, then doubled back to Pakistan, where he showed up with a converted B-26 bomber shortly before last autumn's border war. The Pakistanis suspected that he was air-dropping watches and gold into India, but before they could interrogate...
...England, Richard Smith, 34, is the "top" man, and his work is slated to be shown at this year's forthcoming Venice Biennale. Smith started shaping his canvases for pop art effects when he painted a cigarette box whose corner emerged from the flat picture plane. As his works moved from pop to top, they thrust forward from the wall more and more. "I always have to have the wall plane," he says, "and to think of the painting as an extension of it."

Last week the Hungarian National Ballet and Folk Ensemble appeared in Manhattan with 110 members and seven tons of scenery. The mustachioed men excelled at jumping and, while still airborne, slapping their foreheads, shoulders, thighs, heels and whatever else was handy. One jack-in-the-box leaped into the air and somehow kissed the toe of his extended foot. For their part, the girls glided through some close-order drill routines while balancing wine bottles on their heads. Unfortunately, the rhythm of the program was broken by too many interludes of peasant singing and gypsy cafe music...
