...sweptwing jets sent sonic booms thundering down the capital's seafront Malecon Drive. In every town along the 760-mile length of Cuba, the speechmakers mounted their platforms to trumpet victory to the assembled populace. The first anniversary of Fidel Castro's triumph over the haphazard U.S.-backed Bay of Pigs invasion was at hand, and May Day lay just ahead. It was time to celebrate in Communist Cuba...
Pocket Aqueducts. Last year she and Ponti acquired a chalet in Bürgenstock overlooking Lake Lucerne, partly to establish themselves as residents of Switzerland in order to sidestep Italy's haphazard tax code. They keep an immense apartment in Rome. They have also bought and are refashioning a 16th century villa eleven miles southeast of the city. It is on 18 acres and has 50 rooms. Before they are through, it will cost them $2,000,000. The place sits on catacombs that will become the world's weirdest wine cellar. Sophia and Carlo will each have...

Roaming the Ages. When "Shorty" Knox joined Albright's board of directors in 1926, the gallery already had a collection of surprising quality. It roams the ages in an almost haphazard way: an African mask, a Khmer sculpture, terra cotta tomb figures from China, a Cycladic idol that dates from the Bronze Age but looks as if it might have been sculpted yesterday. There are a few minor masterpieces from the Renaissance, works by all the major French impressionists, a first-rate collection of American art from Gilbert Stuart through Winslow Homer to the present...
