Some of Caen's best items come from an army of volunteer tipsters, who range from the Mission Street down-and-outers Caen calls "Skid Rowgues" to the high-and-flighty set he calls the "Nobhillbillies." Despite the fervent pleas of his longtime legman, Jerry Bundsen, 42, Caen refuses to write even one day ahead, pounds out his column in 90 minutes at his air-conditioned office each morning. Though the file box he calls the "item-smasher" is usually filled with rough notes for the column each day, Caen is haunted by the fear that he will...
...works were George Grosz's "Night-mare," Mitchell Siporin's "The Gallery," and Max Weber's "Flute Player." William Kienbush received honorable mention for his competent "Coast of Baker Island."

Concluded the highest court: "The inference is overwhelming that Du Font's commanding position was promoted by its stock interest...
Last week, nearly 18 years after the museum's doors had been closed by war, they were at last reopened. In the rebuilt interior, only one item of decor was salvaged from the original structure: the gold-and-white great portal of the main Rubens room (see cut). A stream of proud Münchners flooded every gallery in the building. They noted such improvements as the overhead skylights and lighting, and walls tapestried with ivory silk. Hanging against them with vibrant life were 800 paintings, the world-famous masterpieces back home again: Dürer's Four...
