Married. Juliette Greco, 39, French actress (The Roots of Heaven) and far-out chanteuse; and Michel Piccoli, 40, new-wave leading man to Jeanne Moreau and Jane Fonda; both for the second time, in Verderonne, France...
...facade is a Greco-pueblo-neo-Monticello compromise, and like most compromises, likely to please no one. The drumlike walls are sheathed in adobe-colored concrete trimmed with a red brick cornice; narrow porticos add a Federal touch; bronze doors, capped with Greek pediments, are set in four entrances that project to form, in an air view, the Zia Indian tribe's radiating symbol...
SPAIN, A HISTORY IN ART by Bradley Smith. 296 pages. Simon & Schuster. $30. An explosion of color that richly and often wittily tells the complicated story of Spain's long journey from obscurity (TIME, Jan. 21).

Though the rest of the drama appears to be based on hysterical inaccuracies, the strain in Spain lies mainly in Actor Ferrer, who portrays the temper of genius with a flatness more appropriate to Toledo, Ohio. Dressed in custom-tailored smocks and tunics, Mel looks like nothing...
