Barring an unfavorable court decision, he is planning to spend $1,700,000 to bring the civilized delights of the Paris sidewalk café to Manhattan's Central Park. He recently started the new magazine Show, which is chiefly concerned with the performing arts but will soon add sections on painting and the fine arts. He keeps a wandering and unpredictable eye on these enterprises from a variety of homes...
