...enjoying her long-sought celebrity. She had come a long way from Marshall, N.C., where her mother still lives in a rickety trailer. No longer was she merely the Southern girl who had lost the Miss Asheville contest, then got her nose bobbed and failed to make an acting career in Hollywood. Last week the whir of TV cameras and the pop of flashbulbs echoed in her tacky apartment in Arlington, Va. She was not the second Marilyn Monroe that she had yearned to become, but at least she was guided and comforted by her agent, her psychiatrist, her lawyer...
...Gems. As they swirled, sniffed, sipped and spat, some judges were instantly able to separate an imported upstart from an aristocrat. More often, the panel was confused.

Some of the most exciting pieces strike you immediately; Carter Brandon and Ross Miller's sculpture, dripping wine, arrests the eye, ear, nose. One of three beautifully engineered sculptures, the work balances stretched steel cable, rods, and shimmering planes. Wine slides and spatters down its contours. Further on, Anne Taintor's silkscreen parrot quilt hangs in downy color, a softer statement; to the right large line drawings assert strength and sensuality...
