Jim Shea Jr. is the ultimate throwback, and his triumph in the age-old but just reintroduced sport of skeleton was a fairy tale to top all others, except possibly Kostelic's. Riding with Shea inside his helmet was a photograph of his grandfather, a former speed-skater who had been America's oldest living Winter Olympics champion until his death in a car crash just before the Games. The Sheas are legends in Lake Placid, America's Cooperstown of winter sports tradition. Now Jim Jr. is a legend throughout the land...

...soup cans and human beings. Thirty Are Better Than One (1963) presents 30 - count 'em - stacked Mona Lisas. In the same room are multiples of Monroe, Elvis Presley, the Statue of Liberty and Elizabeth Taylor. Warhol first painted Monroe after her suicide in August 1962. Instead of a recent photograph, he used a film still from nearly 10 years before. The flat silk-screen technique crookedly applies green eyeshadow and scarlet lipstick, like a magazine illustration of this season's makeup trends. Warhol's paintings "have the color of a shiny new car in the '50s and '60s," says...
