There was a pair of old loafers, worn within a day of falling apart and mounted as casually as if their owner had just stepped out of them. And a green suit, stiff with splattered paint and age, its trousers nothing but ribbons. And bathroom sinks, garden tools, paint brushes, and the names of hundreds of people crammed onto one giant autograph book of a canvas. Last week, when Manhattan's Whitney Museum opened a retrospective exhibition of Jim Dine, 34, it was obvious that Dine's "pocket of felt objects" had spilled many times...

"I was completely bored by the selling," he recalls, "but in my boredom I found that daydreaming amongst objects of affection was very nice.

With interests in a paint company, an air freight service and a television-store franchise, he claims a yearly income of $200,000; included is his $90,000 Tiger salary, the checks for which are being sent to a Detroit bank to pay off an outstanding loan...
...balding man in his 50s, introduces himself. La Costa tones up such famous figures as Rod Steiger, Ambassador John Lodge, NBC President Julian Goodman. Gore Vidal, Kirk Douglas, Senator Jacob Javits, Sandy Koufax, President Gustavo Diaz Ordaz of Mexico-and you end up in the stew with a paint salesman from Poughkeepsie. "They really pamper you," he says, as a gentleman technician dries his back. "It's just one joy after another...
