...high point was the weight lifting. Just as the match got under way one night, four of Castro's best weight lifters coolly walked off the stage of a Kingston theater where the competition was held and sprinted into a waiting getaway car driven by members of Jose Miro Cardona's anti-Castro Revolutionary Council. Several days later, the four and their coach, who had also slipped away, were flown to Miami, where they asked asylum. Said one: "We were just tired of being involved in the stupid struggle that has destroyed Cuba...
...Matter of Esthetics. On a more modest scale, Architect Gordon Bunshaft, chief designer for Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, also had a problem with paintings. His were Picasso, Miro, Modigliani, Dubuffet, and they all had to be fitted into his five-room rental apartment on East 66th Street.

His TV set is placed behind a sliding Dubuffet, and from behind a Miro comes the sound of his hi-fi speaker. By using stainless steel, Formica...

Ignorantly mistaking a paper strip of a Picasso collage for the whole work of art. they tried to rip it off and ruined a work valued at more than $100,000. They got away with six Picassos, two Legers, a Miro and a Dufy...
Picasso's diverse genius makes itself felt in a variety of styles and techniques. His Tauromaquia is remarkable for the economy of line of its aquatinis. Bulls drawn with two or three artful flourishes seem as real as if they had been constructed in full detail. Miro and Matisse provide wonderful color illustrations that give pleasure, although they have very little to do with any accompanying text...
