...Fevrier, a small social for 600 to raise funds for his Foundation of Modern Art, he arranged to have the U.S. premiere of the film souffle, Made in Paris, held right after dinner in the New York Hilton's Grand Ballroom. Over their coffee and tea, Salvador Dali and the rest of his friends settled back to watch Ann-Margret tumble in love with Louis Jourdan in the film, which was not such a ball after...
Behind the Curtain. At Huntington Hartford's Gallery of Modern Art, the show was all Salvador Dali. To please his favorite contemporary artist, Hartford has filled his museum from top to bottom with 375 items of Dali's hitand-miss genius. But it was Dali himself who won best-of-show at a gala black-tie lecture attended by critics, socialites and an ocelot on a leash.

But soon there will great big cosmic TICK-TOCK and Wolfe will...
...Greeks even decided that Dali's Venus was fun, and with 60,000 visitors in three weeks, the exhibition has proved an immense success -with everyone, that is, except young Greek lovers. The Hill of Muses has long been their favorite nocturnal rendezvous. There has been much grumbling from those who have found themselves confronted in the dark of night with the likes of Barbara Hepworth's looming Sea Form, which looks like a shield with holes in it, or Pablo Gargallo's St. John the Baptist, a strident bronze whose every jutting piece stands ready...
