World War II, oddly enough, turned Collector Fleischman to art. A tech sergeant in the 301st Infantry, he fought at Lorient, later found himself detailed to Grave Registration, identifying bodies, notifying next of kin, etc. This, he explains, "brought me into touch with people speculating on the meaning of war and searching for what is true and enduring. Inevitably this led to a discussion of art. Art is the most personal, intimate experience a man can have. It's entirely between the artist and you. There is no conductor, no musician, no actor, nobody to interpret the experience...
...been taking time-off from his three souvenir shops to run his Olympic candidates out to the ski slopes in his Studebaker. The top candidates for the three-man team are all named Kindle: Silvan Kindle, 23; his third cousin Hermann Kindle, 24; and Gebhard Kindle, 21, no kin. The Kindle Kinder train hard.

And when there is boasting to be done, Bill will talk as loud and as long as any ring-tailed roarer that ever lived. "Born under a stump, suckled on sow bear milk and raised in jail," he proclaims. "I know every root in these parts, every huckleberry meadow, bee tree, strand of swamp grass and skunk-cabbage patch. To hunt bears, you've got to be as tough as a good old bear dog. Well...
Black Orpheus (French). Director Marcel Camus (no kin to Novelist-Playwright Albert) has fashioned an impressive, poetic film from an adaptation of the Orpheus legend. The unknown Negro cast, the graceful transformation of the original, and the breathtaking image presented of life as a tropical carnival earned it the 1959 Grand Prix at Cannes...
