...birthday party for John F. Kennedy, where the tardy star is introduced as "the late Marilyn Monroe." Marilyn was the waif Shirley Temple pretended to be-except that her desperation, as L.G.T.T.M. shows, was all too real. That kind of realism is also shown in candid scenes of the "Hollywood Ten"-the first men to be blacklisted for leftist sympathies. A happier, realistic segment shows the early Academy Awards, presided over by a brash young newcomer named Bob Hope.

A noble version was conceived by the 19th century romantics, but an ignoble one was later imported from Hollywood. Museums on both sides of the Atlantic have not helped much, tending to confine their Indian exhibits to ethnographic ghettos dominated by braves and their war bonnets. However, Sacred Circles, a stunning show of Indian art sponsored by Britain's Arts Council and private American donors as a U.S. Bicentennial event at London...
