False-Teeth Collage. The average visitor, ushered through the five galleries annexed to the Winnetka chateau belonging to Retailing Executive Robert Mayer, 57, wishes he had brought along his sunglasses: more than 450 works of op, pop, ob, blob, kinetic and frenetic art jump, creep, twitch, jiggle or blaze from every conceivable wall and cranny.

There were hints of such problems last fall, when the company announced that it was stretching the 306-ft. craft by 12 ft. and adding a pair of stubby movable wings on the forward part of its fuselage. Goofs and glitches always creep into the early blueprints for any new aircraft, but lately Boeing President William M. Allen has been telling airline customers that engineering "miscalculations" were serious enough to send the SST "back to the drawing boards."
