...Connell ambles out of the surrounding woods twice weekly, leaving his wife and eight children behind, to demonstrate his method of sculpting at the College of St. Benedict, a Catholic women's school. There he fires up an acetylene torch and shows the girls how he carves in metal, presumably leaving them with a lifelong interest in both sculpture and blowtorches. The 642 students at St. Benedict's even enjoy a second artist in residence: Playwright George Herman (his From Sea to Shining Sea has been optioned by Manhattan's Lincoln Center), who reigns enthusiastically over what...
...delights indoors. The plaza already boasts sculptures by Henry Moore, Renoir, and a welded stainless steel abstraction by Germany's Norbert Kricke. Astraddle one reflecting pool is a trio of Alexander Calder stabile-mobiles, whose balancing paddles are propelled sporadically by water jets. The U.S. sculptor's metal bathers were commissioned by the museum's Art Museum Council, an active volunteer group of 200 ladies. They are kiddingly called "the Culturettes." In tribute, Calder topped his work with two waving black disks, like Mickey Mouse ears, and titled it Hello Girls...

These stripped-down, metal-encased models do not move as fast as the higher-priced ones; the hottest sellers are the walnut or mahogany models that have such popular accessories as remote controls and automatic demagnetizers and sell for $500 or more...
...raise production to 15,000 in 1967, begin selling in Greece. If they succeed, the brothers will provide an important economic lift for Greece, which has an annual trade deficit of $530 million: the value of Pully exports in 1966 should equal the exports of Greece's entire metal-manufacturing industry. Says Victor Kondogouris, 34, National's assistant managing director: "We aspire to make our Pully business the backbone of Greece's export trade...
