Some of his sculptures are unmistakably phallic-the food blenders, for example, or toothpaste tubes. Others are based on female forms: the hamburgers, light switches, the soft version of Chrysler's 1935 Airflow. But every good Freudian knows all that without having to prowl within a sculptor's imagination. On the other hand, who could anticipate Oldenburg's explanation of his sculpture Raisin Bread, Sliced?

Still, the seeds of future success were being planted. The front office had developed a five-club farm system and hired a covey of scouts to prowl school stadiums and the American Legion circuit in search of promising talent.

Notebook's love affair with Imperial Rome resulted from the fact that Director Federico Fellini made it while at work on a movie based on the bawdy remnants of Petronius' Satyricon. His declared intention in making the TV film was to portray...
