...Institute of Contemporary Art, which twelve years ago brought Austria's most famous expressionist painter, Oskar Kokoschka, to American museums, is now doing the same for his contemporary, Egon Schiele. Hopefully, this will do as much for Schiele as the previous exhibit did of Kokoschka, for undoubtedly Schiele deserves the international fame he has never received...

Barricades to hold back crowds at the Chicago fire exhibit were often hardly needed. Business on weekends, the most crowded time at other New York entertainment parks, dropped 20% below the weekday rate. The park lost money on all but the biggest days. To protect its investment, Zeckendorf and Webb & Knapp, which had stayed out of International Recreation's management, stepped...
