...Pablo Picasso, sculpture has always been a kind of three-dimensional doodling, a device to work out ideas he intends to enshrine in oil. He keeps his numerous constructions of found objects, sheet-metal cutouts, bronzes and wooden figures at his home near Cannes. Occasionally, his black eyes dancing, he will show off his motley assembly of talismans, to test the mettle of his visitors. But he rarely sells them-at most one piece...
...1950s, Picasso turned to bronze castings of sculptures made with "found objects." Many of them, such as the Baboon and Young, with toy auto for a head and metal spring for a tail, are so well known that they set all sorts of precedents for the neo-Dadaists of the 1960s. But in this category, too, there are delightful examples of Picasso's wit never seen before, including a little girl caught skipping rope in mid-jump, and a pipe-tube, stiffly starched nurse pushing a baby in a pram...

Brightly painted and deftly bent, they look like cubist paintings in 21 dimensions-and, by a curious coincidence, 21 dimensions is what dozens of younger painters are going for right...

A quick and drastic surgical job was essential if the company was to be saved. The container division was eliminated. Managers' salaries were cut by 25%, and a bonus based on profit was substituted...
...organist, Ray, had a freshly showered ascetic appearance, like a preppie who has gone hip with recently acquired metal rimmed glasses and striped pants. Jon is small and mouse-like and, according to Elektra producer Paul Rothchild, one of the most brilliant drummers around. The third Door was Robby, and I will tell you he is very quiet and seemed like he had a lot inside because you will not hear from him again except for two or three phrases...
