...office where James T. Mclntyre Jr. has been putting together the federal budget for fiscal 1979 hangs the toothy official portrait of Jimmy Carter. Standard decoration for thousands of Washington offices-but the budget boss's picture is different; on it the President has written: "To my good and early friend Jim Mclntyre."

It is not, of course, the only masterpiece of portraiture in the show. The tradition of the Roman portrait bust was kept and amplified among patrician...
...Americans, Japanese, and assorted European collectors in the all too open international art market. As a result they have begun to concentrate on simply hanging onto whatever treasures they already have. They rallied round to raise $4 million, thus saving a Titian. But another masterpiece ?Velásquez's portrait of his assistant Juan de Pareja, for example, was snatched from them in 1970 by a $5.5 million offer from New York's Metropolitan Museum. This Christmas, though, Britons had an art-treasure story with a happy ending that was almost Dickensian...
