...difficult, though, to make rigid comparative judgments about the objects on display. The Corinthian helmets and hammered gold shields may intrigue some people more than reliefs of buxom goddesses, while others may be drawn to metal worked laurel wreaths used to honor the dead. And especially interesting is a silvered-iron mask of a man's face with rough cast-iron "hair" made in the first century A.D. More spontaneous in spirit is the bronze "Horseman" cavorting, only three inches high yet painstakingly, masterfully fashioned. Ostentation, heroism, eroticism and plain whimsy--all are here. Collections of such variety are rare...

...Harold Ernst Gallery at 161 Newbury is an absolute must, especially now until May 7 with its show of watercolors by Frederick Lynch. Lynch paints wonderful, witty caricatures of portly men and buxom women dressed in atrocious color combinations.

She had a stentorian contralto and a quavering wail that grated on the ears of those attuned to the trills of opera divas. But her voice was a near-perfect instrument for expressing the sinuous quarter tones of Arabic music...

...moved the London tabloid, the Sun, to run a photo of a buxom model and her husband baring almost all in watery togetherness. It also inspired a cartoon portraying Prime Minister Edward Heath in a bath telling his butler: "Save gas or not, Perkins, I will not share a bath with Mick McGahey" (Communist official of the mineworkers union). The gas board itself was somewhat startled and not a little amused by the furor raised by the ad. "We never thought of the idea as kinky," said a board spokesman. Not everyone was so lighthearted. Conservative M.P. John Stokes called...
