When the Metropolitan Museum's Thomas P. F. Hoving dropped the word recently that the Met was planning to "reattribute" several of its Rembrandts, there was a gasp from museumgoers. Fake Rembrandts at the Metropolitan, of all places? It seemed altogether too shocking to be believed. But art scholars in Rembrandt's own Amsterdam, London and Paris scarcely blinked at the news. Like every other great museum, the Met is constantly in the process of re-evaluating and recataloguing the entire collection of paintings, and in fact the current examination of its 31 Rembrandt oils...
...that it can be fun to switch images by pasting on mustaches, sideboards* and beards. Sometimes, for the complete transformation, they slip on long-haired, hippie-style wigs as well. Manhattan's Hollywood Joe's Hair Piece Co., one of the nation's leading suppliers of fake facial foliage made from human hair, is now shipping out 2,800 beards, boards and brushes weekly, and orders from the Midwest run second only to those from New York...
...America's future military commitment to pro Western nations in Southeast Asia; and the initiation of regional economic cooperation--and internal political democracy--to eliminate the wretched social conditions which underlie the 27-year-old peasant revolt throughout Vietnam. Thus, if the United States intends to avoid a "fake" solution in Southeast Asia, its leader--whoever is elected to succeed President Johnson--must make the forthcoming peace talks squarely confront a vast panoply of long-standing problems, of which the current war is only the most recent expression...
...Pigasus Pig, a ten-week-old black and white porker now afattening at the Hog Farm, a hippie commune in Southern California. Other possibilities being considered: a lie-in at Chicago's O'Hare Field to prevent Democratic delegates from landing or, failing that, a fleet of fake cabs to pick up delegates and dump them off in Wisconsin...
GARY BURTON QUARTET: LOFTY FAKE ANAGRAM (RCA Victor). Despite its put-on-pop title, this album is a persuasive blend of jazz and pop. Burton's mallets dance over the vibes knocking out masterly, improvised melodies. Occasionally he forays into the fugue, as in Lines, where Larry Coryell's country-blues guitar plays an especially effective counterpoint. Steve Swallow on bass provides a mellow underpinning, while Drummer Bobby Moses adds cymbal-splashes of color. On swiftly paced tracks such as June the 15, 1967, their rapid notes become a braided stream of bright sound...
