...year. Amid the cacophony, Viet Cong and North Vietnamese forces attacked Da Nang, South Viet Nam's second-largest city, and seven other major towns, breaking the Tet truce. Within 24 hours they hit 36 of 44 provincial capitals and overran almost all of the former colonial capital of Hue. Communist shock troops penetrated the heart of Saigon to attack the U.S. embassy and presidential palace. They drove General William Westmoreland into a windowless command bunker. "What the hell is going on?" Walter Cronkite wondered aloud as he prepared the evening's newscast. "I thought we were winning this...

Earlier this month a 1923 Picasso painting titled Birdcage was auctioned for a record $15.4 million, only to be topped four days later by the sale of the 1901 Motherhood for $24.8 million. Then last week a 1905 gouache...
