...impressive and the most frustrating event is the 300-piece exhibit "India!" at New York City's Metropolitan Museum. For visitors unfamiliar with Indian art, the riches and their antiquity are beguiling. The collection is most complete in painting, reflecting Exhibition Curator Stuart Cary Welch's scholarly specialization in Mogul miniatures. They range from court assemblies to bloody scenes of hunting, from frolicsome glimpses of improbably colored animals and gods to sober, documentary official portraits. Among the more memorable: a kittenish lion sensually rolling his back paws in apparent pursuit of his swishing tail; a stampede of combative horses, whose...
...fate of the anthology shows is difficult to predict. Spielberg's Amazing Stories has wowed the TV world with big weekly budgets and top-drawer directors. But TV's newest mogul is keeping his series under tight wraps to heighten the suspense until its Sept. 29 premiere, leaving both critics and viewers to wonder whether its giant-size ambitions will enhance, or merely overwhelm, the small screen.

Prowling the bustling Amazing Stories set in his blue baseball cap, brown leather bomber jacket, salmon-colored jeans, pink socks and gray running shoes with SPIELBERG stamped on the heels, the Mogul of Magic looks just old enough to be the classmate-coach at a college touch-football scrimmage. He has time for everyone, with a few jokes in between: "TV stands for Tender Vittles. That's what we're givin' 'em, folks, Tender Vittles." Spielberg's noncombative vitality infects everyone he works with. Says Richard...
