...reported Skylab Commander Gerald Carr, noting that the fuzzy blob was getting bigger all the time. In the weeks ahead, the Skylab crew will keep Kohoutek under virtually constant watch in order to spot any structural changes in the comet as quickly as possible. The astronauts will also lug some of their cameras outside to get the best possible pictures during three space walks-on Christmas Day just before the comet ducks behind the sun, on Dec. 29 after it reappears, and again just before the end of the mission in February...

But the Met rejected Wildenstein's conclusion (he thought the painting genuine), and it seems easier to copy some documents and mail them to New York than to lug a large and valuable painting across the Atlantic.

Puffing on a huge cigar and squinting through glasses as thick as beer mugs, he bills himself as a "sort of blown-up Cary Grant." He has been besieged with offers, including roles in a TV comedy series and a movie called The Hard Case. Does he miss football? "Sure I miss it. I guess my main regret is that I can't go up to Green...
