...Romantic era can be seen in a display of 236 oils, watercolors and drawings, assembled from collections in America and Europe, now at the Detroit Institute of Arts (see color pages). "British Masterpieces," which will be shown at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, pays little more than lip service to the aristocratic portrait and the studied landscape, the established prides and prejudices of English art.

To provide corridors, the back of each room module comes with a 2½-ft. protruding concrete lip, which is sealed to a similar lip to form a 5-ft. hallway...
There is no telling what the score might have been if Nicklaus' putter had been hot. Twice in the next eight holes he hung birdie putts on the lip of the cup; on the 15th, he blew an easy 41-footer and took a bogey. But he birdied the llth, and 13th and the 14th, and on the 495 yd., par-five 17th, he collected his second eagle-covering those 495 yds. with a drive, a No. 4 iron and a 12-ft. putt. With a par on the 18th, Jack was finished. His score: 33 on the front...
