Fonder Memories. Top of the list for most camera-toting visitors is a version of the famous Brussels marble Manneken-Pis fountain statue and the spectacular 104-ft.-long Neptune Pool, kept a constant 70° while Hearst lived. The pool was last used as a set for Spartacus, and it required no added props. As laid out by Hearst's architect, Julia Morgan, it is surrounded by two Etruscan-style colonnades, backed by a Greco-Roman temple, and fronted by a marble Birth of Venus. Equally awe-inspiring is the 83-ft.-long assembly hall with an immense...
Flies to Flies. The plot evolves, or rather meanders, in a kind of metaphysical Disneyland setting thick with mountainous stalactites and stalagmites, behind, over and under which lurk new magical wonders to behold.

Suddenly her friend was at her side. Why couldn't ther be deck chairs for hire? "People steal them," said the commissioner. Then how about miniature golf near Riverside Drive? "Hmm," said Thomas Pearsall Field Hoving, and in ten seconds he was sketching miniature-golf courses on a scrap of paper. "Sure," he said gaily. "It could work...
Although Dr. Robert F. McCleery, director of FDA's Medical Advertising division, recommended that all claims based on Cass research be removed from labels--including the drug's chief selling point: "eight-hour pain relief"--this was not done, according to Fountain. Instead, the company was told to simply delete Cass's name from its claims. As a result, Fountain said, "promotional labeling and advertising continued to contain claims based on Cass work...
