His art collection, mostly impressionist and postimpressionist, embraces "100 very, very good paintings and 500 fun ones," and his display of pre-Columbian artifacts at Manhattan's Metropolitan Museum is one of the world's finest. Corporately, Consolidated Foods last week agreed to acquire, for $3,400,000 in stock, Idaho Frozen Foods, Inc., a $5,000,000-a-year processor of frozen-potato products. This will be Consolidated...
