...Cadore, Titian for short. The culture over which Titian presided for most of his long life-he died, probably of the plague, still painting, in 1576, when he may have been anything from 90 to 95-boasted an unusual number of master artists: Veronese, Jacopo Tintoretto, Giorgione, Sebastiano del Piombo, Lorenzo Lotto, Jacopo Bassano, Giovanni Battista Moroni. If one includes the architects and sculptors, such as Jacopo Sansovino and the Lombardo brothers, the decorative artists, the printmakers, then the scale of the Venetian flowering is obvious...
...McKinney hardly cuts the blocky figure of a woman skier. Actually, the entire women's team appears less robust than its regimen. At various boot camps from Hawaii to New Zealand, karate and pro football have been mixed into the exercises (Green Bay Packer Del Rodgers was a drill instructor). With the exception of three-time Olympian Cindy Nelson, a bronze-medal winner in 1976, they are extraordinarily fit. Nelson crashed a gate at Val d'Isere, France, last month and tore the ligaments in a knee. She returned to the U.S. immediately and has been working furiously...
...show on L.B.J., can top that. The veteran actor, best known as TV's crime-busting medical examiner Quincy, quipped: "I wish my mother had lived to see me first a doctor, then President of the U.S." James Prideaux's Lyndon, which opens in Wilmington, Del., next week and moves to the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., the following week, tells L.B.J.'s life from his halcyon days in Texas to the years after his turbulent presidency. Klugman admits he developed an "intense interest" in the politician by reading twelve L.B.J. biographies, but stops short of endorsing...
...couldn't in a thousand years dream up such a system, where starving infants are denied food while, for example, 21 new battle cruisers--at a cost of $1.05 billion each--are built. It is a systemic problem. On December 20, 1983, Sen. William V. Roth Jr. (R-Del.) was on the CBS Evening News, pointing out some of the military's worst excesses. Roth decorated a Christmas tree with $100 in odds and ends, for which the Pentagon--with its "cost-plus" method of insuring that all contractors make huge profits--would have paid as much...
DIED. Dennis Wilson, 39, boisterous, handsome drummer, keyboardist and singer of California's enduring rock-'n'-roll band the Beach Boys; of accidental drowning when he dived off a boat slip into 12 ft. of water; in Marina Del Rey, Calif. Wilson, the Beach Boys' only genuine surfer, named the upbeat, harmonizing quintet that since 1961 has glorified the sea, the sun, teen love and cars in such hits as Good Vibrations, California Girls and Surfin' U.S.A. Although Wilson often feuded with other group members, he was on board for the satisfying moment last summer...
