...Bouguereau, such faultless yet lifeless art brought honors, fame and money. At 25, he won the coveted Grand Prix de Rome, and his idyllic ceilings painted for rich Paris patrons won him membership in the Institut de France. To the end, when he was producing such works as his Les Oréades, Bouguereau found big buyers, many of them Americans. In 1900, a buyer in New York was willing to pay $7,400 for a work incredibly called Innocence. Historians credit his work as a major influence on Western saloon...

...Britain's Graham Hill, 36: the U.S. Grand Prix, on a rain-slicked, 2.3-mile circuit that held his B.R.M. racer to a relatively slow 107.98 m.p.h. average; at Watkins Glen, N.Y. One of the early dropouts (only three of 18 cars lasted the full 110 laps) was World Champion Jimmy Clark, whose engine started acting up in the fifth lap, leaving the rest of the race to Hill, who, despite one scary 100-m.p.h. spinout on a curve, managed to set a 115.16 m.p.h. lap record on the way to his third straight victory at the Glen...

Poor Plumbing. Today Horst Antes is well on the way to becoming Karlsruhe's most illustrious alumnus. As a student he captured the Hannover Grand Prix, at 24 had his first one-man show, and today, at 29, he is considered Germany's most powerful postwar painter (see color), a natural link in and continuator of the great tradition of German expressionism. Outwardly at least, his impetuosity has somewhat subsided. The neighbors in his six-story walkup on a truck-choked thoroughfare in Karlsruhe are often treated to blasts of rock 'n' roll he plays...
