...Henry Moore, Andrew Wyeth, Etienne Hajdu, Lynn Chadwick and the abstract painter Vieira da Silva. Knoedler's has been in business since 1846, and the elegant mansion it occupies lends an air of Old World gentility to the business transacted in damask-walled rooms upstairs. President E. Coe Kerr Jr. says he will deal in "everything in paintings and sculptures," provided they are good. Prices range from $100 for a Chadwick drawing to $400,000 for a Cézanne. Whatever the price, a customer can have confidence that his purchase will be authentic: five full-time librarians...
...noise in almost every Shakespeare production--but it seems to be of little avail. With the exception of a few actors, like Mr. Abbott himself (who is the languid and ailing King Edward), or Andreas Teuber (a vital Buckingham, and a perfect Charlie to Pickett's Ev), or Phil Kerr (Harry Richmond), whose skills approach those of Mr. Pickett, none of Richard's enemies is much worth listening...

It hardly matters that wherever he moves, Philip Kerr (as Leonardo) creates a patch of splendid resilience and vitality so powerful that he draws the Bride (Ann Lilley Kerr) into the circle of his power; she and Leonardo's wife (Pat Fay in an unhappily neutral role) flash and charm in his presence. If anybody has duende Kerr has; he explains better than Lorca can how Leonardo manages to drag the Bride along like "the pull of the sea." Yet out of what, in this production, does he drag...
...Bastards & Justice. Next came a scrap between Oklahoma's Democratic Senator Robert Kerr and Virginia's Democratic Representative Howard Smith, chairman of the Rules Committee. The Senate had added $2 billion to the House-passed $2.3 billion rivers and harbors bill-the traditional pork-barrel measure. Conservative Smith was having none of such nonsense, and Congress could not adjourn until he and Kerr, who championed the Senate action, reached some sort of un derstanding. Confided Kerr: "This is between two old bastards-Bob Kerr and Howard Smith. Smith is determined to maintain his position. I am determined...
