Visceral Reaction. Probably the only person who ever nonplussed Henry was Salvador Dali. As Henry tells it, Dali invited him over to his St. Regis suite one winter afternoon to do his portrait. "We'll begin by casting your tongue," said Dali. "Why?" asked Geldzahler. "I want to do a gold head of you," replied Dali, "and it's going to have a tongue that wags." Henry fled...
After a few years the Surrealists scattered. Gala ran off to marry Salvador Dali. Eluard died in 1952. Ernst went on to enjoy international prominence as a perennial myth maker in sculpture, painting and collage. The house itself was sold in 1929 to a butcher and passed through many hands...
Lord of a sumptuous villa, master of a 200-worker foundry, Miguel Berrocal is, at 36, the latest in a long and rather glorious tradition of Spanish grandees in the arts.

First off, there was baseball's Whitey Ford tweaking the twitching mustache of Salvador Dali. Then came another Odd Couple, Mickey Rooney and Rex Reed. "Let's hurry this show up," cracked the much-married Rooney. "I gotta be in court. I'm gettin' another divorce, ya know." The most memorable set of seatmates, though, was Novelist Mickey Spillane ("I only write...
