Others ran what amounted to an airfreight service with private planes. Hoodlums entered the act, were even able to plunder government-willed collections. Artist Diego Rivera willed his fine collection to Mexico. It was pilfered before the government ever got it. Shortly after Anthropologist-Author Miguel Covarrubias died, some of the best pieces in his top-notch collection (also willed to Mexico) showed up first in a Texas gallery, then in a Manhattan gallery, which sold them to private collectors...

He recently finished another Paris commission-a mural depicting Prometheus bringing heavenly fire to men, in the newly opened UNESCO headquarters-and reproduced this week in color...

The setting was Mexico City's famed Palacio de Bellas Artes, an Italianate pile of marble as remote from today's Mexico as an igloo, despite murals by the famed Big Four of Mexican art: Rivera, Siqueiros, Orozco and Tamayo. As López Mateos entered, the 3,000 guests, including U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles, stood and cheered the President-elect's march to the stage...
