...first question was whether Klein had seen the latest Picasso show in Paris. Klein replied that he had, produced the catalogue to prove it. Delighted, Picasso grabbed some colored crayons, whipped off a quick sketch on the catalogue's cover showing a faun with red eyes, blue nose and green beard, then signed it as a souvenir of the visit (see cut). For the firsthand account that Klein brought back with him of Picasso's life today, plus an evaluation of Picasso's most comprehensive U.S. show thus...

When the X-13 returned from a brief horizontal joy ride, it slowed down and tilted its nose upward. Then it backed down toward earth, standing on its column of gas, and walked steadily toward the platform. A man was waiting at the top of the platform to help Pilot Girard during the critical operation of engaging the hook. He watched the X-13 approach until its hook was above the cable. Then he pressed a control that raised the supporting arms, slipping the cable under the hook. That was the end of the flight. The platform was cranked down...
