Almost Incidental. Sharon and Sebring were the prime objects of the mayhem: the deaths of the other three victims seemed almost incidental. The bodies of Coffee Heiress Abigail Folger, 26, and her boy friend, a sort of society camp follower named Voityck Frokowski, 37, were found on the lawn. Both were clothed, but Frokowski's trousers were down around his ankles. Miss Folger had been stabbed repeatedly, and Frokowski had been both stabbed and shot. Steven Parent. 18, a student, was shot five times in the chest, apparently while trying to get away in his car. None...
...slaughter confined to the house. "There was ample blood all around," said a policeman. On the lawn lay the bodies of Voyteck Frykowski, 37, a friend and associate of Polanski's, and Abigail Folger, 26, heiress to her family's coffee fortune and a partner of Sebring's in his chain of men's hair-styling shops.

In 1952, when she was only 23, she developed her "stain technique" as an extension of Jackson Pollock's method of skeining swirls of glossy Duco enamel onto a canvas spread upon the floor. Helen thinned her paint with turpentine and poured it onto the unprimed canvas, so that the paint sank in. The marks of the pouring or brush disappeared, canvas and color became one and the same. The result...
...found that many pictures normally "work" better with darker colors at the top. A sedate, woodsy green thus sets a lid on the upward rushing blue genie. Helen Frankenthaler is not interested in emotions for their own sake. Despite the modernity of her style, she is an heiress to a tradition that reaches back beyond Pollock; she uses themes as a kind of reality on which to base an esthetic experience. Her ambition-and she succeeds in it with a memorable frequency-is to marry inner joy and outer discipline in a work...
