...fanfare is Richard Fargo Brown, at 48 one of the younger major U.S. museum directors, and a man who, in a young city that thrives on cultural imbroglios, thrives on his wit and wisdom. A jocular scholar who is apt to bump into trustees with a chocolate ice cream cone in his hand, Brown is an artist's son and a Bucknell University scholarship student (he was a four-letter man in high school) who got an M.A. and Ph.D. at Harvard, then perfected his taste with five years as a research scholar at Manhattan's Frick Collection...
They start arriving on the steep stone steps at an early hour. In wintertime, the motorcycle jackets and minks, chesterfields and children's snowsuits quilt the entrance.

In any season it is Sunday, and the people wadded up against the doubled Corinthian columns are waiting to get into the most culturally concentrated 20 acres in the U.S.-New York's Metropolitan Museum...
Life is pop ballet, a modern parable that mocks contemporary values.

But the south now boasts Italy's biggest steel mill, its biggest oil refinery and its biggest petrochemical plant. Naples, now Italy's second biggest seaport (after Genoa), has become so thoroughly industrialized that there is little more room to expand, and Caserta to the north has grown into a mighty concentration...
...advertising firm that Foote had helped to found-Foote, Cone & Belding-jolted fellow admen by resigning the $12 million-a-year American Tobacco business. Foote later left Foote, Cone & Belding, and landed in 1951 at McCann-Erickson, now the biggest agency in the world's largest advertising combine, Interpublic. A former chairman of the American Cancer Society's executive committee, he gave up chain-smoking five years ago. This year he was appointed to the President's Commission on Heart Disease, Cancer and Stroke. Now he hopes to work for anti-cigarette causes "as a volunteer propagandist...
