...intervals on the floor. A row of what appears to be eight truncated shoeboxes, the work of James Seawright, each containing a variant of the figure eight in sometimes flashing lights, while every now and then a taped voice croaks out, "Eight." A flight of wooden stairs covered in gold-colored carpet, entitled Euclid by Joe Goode. A creation called Die by Architect-turned-Sculptor Tony Smith, which he admits he ordered by phone. And why not? It is only a six-by-six-by-six-foot cube in slab metal-a piece of art on which the artist...

"Any suggestion that the price of gold be raised," said a Treasury Department official last week, "is completely unacceptable...
...Most of the actors race around the screen like men outrunning the sound of their own words. Sellers himself is cast as a sort of Unlucky Luciano who poses as a sort of Federico Foolini. He makes a film about some crooks smuggling $3,000,000 worth of gold bullion into Italy-and uses the movie project as a cover for some actual smuggling. The phony film is shown at his trial. It is intended to look absurdly awful, but customers may not get the point: the rest of Fox looks just about...
