...turned out to be that chronic spoof John Kenneth Galbraith, who recently carried pseudonymity to its logical extreme by reviewing the pseudonymous Report from Iron Mountain under the pseudonym Herschel McLandress. One of the mysteries of the 1962 Vatican Council was the man named Xavier Rynne who wrote so knowingly of the proceedings for The New Yorker; it later developed that a Catholic theologian, Father Francis Xavier Murphy, then residing in Rome, did much of the writing. One author who has so far escaped detection is Raymond...
Convinced he had picked up a forger's scent, Noble made tests to determine the specific gravity of the horse, found it was too low for solid bronze but about right if the statue had a sand core, held in place by iron wire and tacks-which is how French bronze statues in the 1920s were cast. Ordinary X-ray equipment would not penetrate deeply enough to show the interior of the sculpture. But on Sept. 15, Noble, using equipment developed to inspect the six-inch-thick steel hulls of nuclear submarines, was able to have a gamma...

But "after a march through mud and dense jungle," he wrote in Figaro, his first night at the guerrilla encampment seemed "marvelously comfortable"-even though he slept in a ditch under a corrugated iron roof in a driving rain...

Ore stockpiles grew to 2,300,000 tons. Seeking to diversify, Salzgitter blundered into acquiring the ailing Büssing truck works for $12.5 million in the early 1960s. Recently Treasury Minister Kurt Schmiicker called that decision "the most striking error made by a company's management in the past few years." Büssing now contributes more than half of Salzgitter's losses; every fourth truck...
...Arthur Rank with a film idea, they consider me a nuisance," he claims. "If I go to MGM, I am welcomed." France's Claude Lelouch (A Man and a Woman) has been signed to a multipicture contract at United Artists, as has Polanski at Paramount. The Iron Curtain countries are a continuing source of new talent, and Hollywood studios have dangled fat contracts before Czechoslovakia's Jan Radar, who made Shop on Main Street. Even the customarily aloof Antonioni has become part of the new Hollywood; his next film, Zabriskie Point, will be financed by MGM and shot...
