...studios of RCA Photophone on the eleventh floor of 411 Fifth Avenue, to a Broadway theater packed with the press and theatrical, radio and movie world hierarchy. A young junior exec on the scene at the time, I was recruited to give a five-minute performance under green grease paint, but without rehearsal or direction. It was the golden opportunity for an aspiring actor, but I flunked it completely because of stage fright. Mr. Sarnoff kept me in the doghouse from then...
...time not too long ago when Pablo Picasso, 84, was known as something of a terror with women. Now he sounds somewhat terrified himself.

The idea is to keep the paintings free from any personal touch which might be more meaningful to the artist than to random viewer. Some of his early pieces--like the dollar bills--are made with a rubber stamp, but more re- cently he has begun to reproduce his paintings with silk screen. For Warhol...
