Will Barnet: 27 Master Prints (Abrams; 63 pages; $12.50) offers a sampling of work done over the past decade and provides fresh evidence of the artist's versatility. His lithographs employ a broad palette of muted, pastel colors, while the serigraphs are built up from large blocks of flat, brilliant hues. For subjects, Barnet favors women and cats in stylized arrangements leaning toward abstraction. Woman Reading, perhaps his best-known work, achieves an almost hieroglyphic serenity...
...policemen's softball team in Jacksonville is raising money to play in a tournament in New Orleans by selling, for $5 each, pastel T shirts decorated with a drawing of "Old Sparky," the Florida electric chair, and bearing the legend 1 DOWN, 133 TO GO. The reference is to the recent execution of John Spenkelink and the 133 people left on death row in Florida.

...year-old retreat for the reclusive, recherche and rich, from Gable to Streisand, the Hana caravansary sprinkles its pastel-colored bungalows (only 57 rooms) over 20 acres of manicured grass, perched between a 14,000-acre cattle ranch and the sandy half-moon of Hamoa Beach. Manager Tony de Jetley, an urbane Englishman who is married to a beautiful Hawaiian curiously named Alberta, enumerates 69 regular activities for hotel guests and their children; they range from frond weaving and night tide-pool fishing to breakfast cookouts and quarter-horse riding through terrain often photographed for Marlboro ads. Some families return...
