...interviews, is rarely seen outside her private circle of friends, has even hired an agency to keep her out of the public eye. There was nothing she could do, though, about the exhibit opening last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, which paid her the honor of exhibiting 65 photos of Hepburn in many of her greatest roles. There she was, the stage-struck young beauty in 1933's Morning Glory, the prim but game Rosie in 1951's African Queen, the indomitable Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1968's The Lion in Winter...

When Daniel in the Lion's Den was shown in the Paris Salon in 1896, the famous French history painter Jean-Leon Gerome insisted that it be given a place of honor.

Finally, the event will be the biggest royal bash since Queen Elizabeth's coronation...
...evidence given in the novel, this judgment of mankind is accurate. The book's human beings- except for a few dolphinlike characters necessary to the plot-are consistently sub-cetaceous in intelligence, honor, aquatic ability and sexual inventiveness. The dolphins are tiptop in every department, as Robert Merle, a French writer of some past distinction, is at pains to demonstrate, taking the departments one by one.
