...late O. E. Rolvaag's 1924 classic Giants in the Earth portrayed the trials of a yeoman Norwegian family that strove doggedly to conquer the Great Plains, only to be consumed in the struggle. The author's son, Minnesota Governor Karl Fritjof Rolvaag, 52, has come to experience the same sort of futility. Though he has been a dedicated, longtime party worker, Minnesota's Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party last week dumped him in a bruising convention fight for the party's gubernatorial endorsement. Picked instead was ambitious, boyish-looking Lieutenant Governor A. M. ("Sandy") Keith...
Guarded Plans. Between frugging and rubbernecking, Lynda sandwiched in a picnic, slept late in the mornings and had her hair coiffed at one of Madrid's smart salons. On her public forays, she had no bravo's for the ever-present photographers and overprotective Secret Service escorts. Anxious to see Spain as a tourist instead of a celebrity, she finally had a heart-to-heart chat with Robin. Three of the Secret Service men were peeled off, and it was decided to keep her plans a little more guarded from the press, particularly the photographers, whom Senorita L.B.J...
Down from Kilimanjaro. The villagers' first intimation of possible underground riches came in the late 1950s; in 1962, oil companies moved onto the Indians' ancestral hunting grounds with rigs and drilling permits from the U.S. Interior Department. The Indians, who had not been consulted, countered by winning a court injunction and $15,000 in fees for the right to drill. But the funds were under the control of the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and when the Tyonek village council tried to tap the account for needed improvements, the bureau was slow to respond. The Tyoneks were even more...
Alloway Went Thataway. Just about every other group was, though (see color pages). In their late-Czarist pavilion, bearing a hammer and sickle, the Russians displayed their usual Soviet pop, in which Lenin portraits are repeated with the regularity and exactitude of Campbell's Soup cans. The Austrians laid claim to some sort of verbiage prize with an entry by one Curt Stenvert. It consisted of a gilded skeleton sharing a glass case with a sexy mannequin, knee high in artificial flowers and covered with photographed tattoos. Title: 38th Human Situation: As a Deceased Tycoon to bequeath your Charming...
Alloway, credited with coining the term pop, picked the late Jackson Pollock, the late David Smith, Joseph Cornell, maker of bric-a-brac-packed boxes, Ernest Trova, who endlessly repeats images of falling men, and Roy Lichtenstein. His choice was promptly amended by his boss, Guggenheim Director Thomas Messer, who dropped Lichtenstein and Pollock and chose mostly sculpture. Displeased, the Smithsonian then turned the whole deal over to the Metropolitan Museum of Art's associate curator, Henry Geldzahler, 30. Last week Alloway resigned from the Guggenheim...
