...fresh and authentic as the girl next door, only more so. She had enormous saucer eyes, dimpled knees, bee-stung lips and a natural boop-poop-a-doop style. She was the cat's pajamas, the gnat's knees, and the U.S.'s favorite celluloid love goddess...
...Some 16 ft. high at the tallest point, the two pieces represent the rounded rump and upright torso of a semireclining figure. Typically Moore-ish, she abstractly lounges in the reflecting pool, mingling the domestic grace of a nude in her bath with the powerful, primitive presence of a goddess disturbed from sleep by Leonard Bernstein. Manhattan's mightiest piece of modern sculpture was wrestled into place pretty much the way marbles were muscled into place in Michelangelo's day. Grunting workmen wedged the huge metallic shapes onto rollers, eased them down wood beams, hoisted them upright with...
...Bullocks. Economically, India is still an agricultural nation, despite Nehru's brave plans for industrialization. Typical of India's peasantry is "Ramoo" Sivaram, a 33-year-old farmer who lives near Hyderabad in the province of Andhra Pradesh.

But his attempt at believable biography, at a good film, is not bad enough to be funny, just stupid enough to be pathetic...
...Goddess & Snakes. Ultimately, of course, a museum can only be as great as its contents. Mexico's century-old collection is one of the world's most comprehensive records of antiquity. Of more than 100,000 relics, two of the finest are the Coyolxauhqui, a 1,543-lb. moon goddess of jadeite whose grinning face is fringed with golden rattlesnakes, and a Western Hemisphere familiar, the 25-ton stone disk whose signs and symbols marked the hours and seasons and mapped the Aztec universe...
