Spartan Dedication. The Mark X's creator is Sir William Lyons, 60, Jaguar's steel-willed chairman and managing director, who had a very special plan in mind. "We wanted," he explains, "to introduce the characteristics of a racing car into a passenger car." The racing car was Jaguar's famed, sleek-snouted Type D, which burned up Europe's tracks in the mid-'50s and won the grueling Le Mans 24-hour race three years in a row. From the Type D Sir William took road-clinging, independent rear-wheel suspension...
...Most critics, having all the literary graces except creativity, tend to overvalue style. Schorer, although he sometimes writes novels, is no exception. Lewis, says Schorer didactically, "was one of the worst writers in modern American literature." But Lewis possessed to a high degree what most stylists do not-the creator's gift for bringing a character or a book to vigorous (and often noisy, smelly, squalid) life...
...gangling, long-beaked American basso stirred his Milanese audience to excited whispers: "That's the son of Lolita." In fact, the new Don Basilio in The Barber of Seville could at best be ranked only as the fictional nymphet's half brother-the son of her creator, Novelist Vladimir Nabokov.

Decided Father Nabokov judiciously as his Russian-born wife beamed approval...
Last week, on loan from the Victoria and Albert, which now regards them as among its finest possessions, 135 of those drawings were on display at the National Gallery in Washington. Their creator was Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, whose own native Venice did not begin to rediscover him until more than a century after his death. The drawings are not the finished kind that Tiepolo did for sale, but they are perhaps more interesting. They are notes for paintings and frescoes, ideas jotted down as quickly as they welled up in Tiepolo's prodigiously restless mind...
...official title of the show opening this week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art is "The Art of Assemblage." But the show's creator, William C. Seitz, explains that the fuller title would be "The Art, Non-Art and Anti-Art of Assemblage." For an assemblage is neither a painting nor a sculpture, but something beyond, a combining of all sorts of objects -knives and forks, torn bits of burlap, weathered wood, old boxes, smashed pieces of cars, dismembered dolls, an abandoned breakfast-to achieve all sorts of effects. The Modern Museum's exhibition...
