...Harvard's finest collections, its most often seen but most frequently overlooked, is the body of artifacts in which the University lives -- its museum of architecture. Le Corbusier should be pleased that his newest construction is also the latest entry in a fairly distinguished lot of buildings...
...African government, eager to see new Hollywoods springing up out of the veld, is earnestly cooperating. It has supplied soldiers, giraffes, prop men, leopards, spears-everything but phalaropes. Director Cy Enfield also called on Dinizulu, paramount chief of the Zulus, and Dinizulu came through with 4,000 of his finest, plus a faultless selection of his most nubile maidens for a bare-breasted scene in which the Zulu warriors on the eve of battle are given the sort of sendoff that might well cause 4,000 men to lose to 130.

Besides collecting pesos, he acquires Dresden figurines, Chinese jade, Venetian glass and ancient Spanish books that he often pores over until 2 a.m. His house also shelters Mexico's most distinguished selection of wines (7,000 bottles) and its finest private art collection-El Greco, Botticelli, Van Dyck, Dali, Diego Rivera-as well as Pagliai's picturesque third wife, international Screen Star Merle Oberon.* When someone once asked why he does not retire to contemplate his gentle Corots and just clip coupons, Pagliai replied that "clipping coupons gives...
