Says California Painter Ricco Lebrun: "Rome's greatness says, 'We have achieved our ideals. You can achieve yours.' " Stirred by the Sistine Chapel, Lebrun is hard at work on a vast vinylite-and-cement mural, depicting scenes from Genesis. Equally inspired by Rome is Harvard-trained Henry Millon, 33, art historian and architect. "I have spent hours staring at St. Peter's," says he, "and I've now decided that Delia Porta was wrong in his elevation of the curve of the dome. It may have all kinds of effect on my work." Rome...
...helped to restore Poblet over the past two years, employing a craft knowledge inherited from Gothic times, which persists in Spain as nowhere else. Screens and iron chandeliers had come from Ramon Martí's hands.

But what followed made all other news - even wine, women, and cash for disk jockeys, even the French atomic blast in the Sahara -seem insignificant on Page...
...Free." Such bathetic flights aside, it was plain that the Wayside Chapel was not the best possible place for Paar to fight for the Bill of Rights. It was equally plain that NBC had raised a fuss - perhaps in a deliberate attempt to get freewheeling, free-talking Paar into line - over a story far milder than many other things heard on previous Paar shows or elsewhere on TV. But NBC was in no mood to lose a topnotch performer - and moneymaker. All week long newspaper re porters haunted Paar's suburban home in Bronxville, recording every sob and sigh...
