...Juin's coffin. France Soir captioned its picture: "The young lion of politics before the body of the old soldier." The newspaper also observed that the object of Kennedy's visit was "the White House-in 1972." That was all right with French voters. At a Picasso exhibit in the Grand Palais one young Frenchman said: "Picasso is completely outclassed. It is Bobby who is the hero of this exposition...
Staid Parke-Bernet was so captivated by its romantic consignment that for a month preceding the auction the gallery staged a $100,000 exhibit around it, including a hurricane room with simulated thunder and lightning and a reconstructed captain's cabin with an open chest of gold coins and a live macaw.

Then, late at night, fire suddenly broke out in a booth in the main exhibition hall. Within 15 minutes, McCormick Place was an inferno; because of the intensity of the fire and its rapid spread...
...issue's major successes is Marshall Berman's reflections on the New York Jewish Museum's exhibit ("it's not so much an exhibit as a happening") which recreates the city's Lower East Side from 1870 to 1924. The article begins with a series of cliches which create a suspicion that it is simply one more addition to the collection of general, and generally boring, essays on the search for "cultural identity." "We have no common ethnic, territorial or cultural past, as other nations have." Or, we are told, "Men need to recover their roots; not to sink into...
