...week, the big-beat spectacular happened just the way Murray planned it. A breakneck succession of 23 Scopi-tone-like acts in 90 minutes. A bill reading like Billboard's "Hot 100" and sounding, to adults, like 76 air hammers. The Ronettes playing stickball on Manhattan's Mott Street. Little Anthony and the Imperials mock-"bopping" on the stage of the Brooklyn Fox. Gary Lewis and the Playboys blowing up a squall on the beach at California's Abalone Cove. The continuity was Murray frugging from one surf-or cityside location to the next or jumping into...

G.M.'s fifth-ranking shareholder, Charles Stewart Mott, a spry 89, used to be its largest by far -until he gave away 1,826,421 shares to the Mott Foundation, which bankrolls just about all the cultural, so cial and athletic activity back home in Flint, Mich.

So he had someone make 500 wooden boxes for him; someone else made silk screens of the designs on the cardboard cartons that hold the products of Del Monte, Brillo, H. J. Heinz, Campbell's, Mott's and Kellogg's. Warhol himself, with help, squeegeed the color onto the boxes, wrapped them in brown paper to be carted to the gallery, and planned their arrangement in towering tiers. Lest viewers think it's just another Saturday morning outside the local supermarket, he made their...
