Sixty years have passed since Gustaf made his first purchase: a hexagonal famille rose dish of the Ch'ien Lung period. In the interim he has bought about 2,400 objects for his collection which he works at with as much archaeological curiosity as artistic love. Even the dog he gave the late Queen Louise is a Pekinese named Eisei, and she laps water from a modern Scandinavian imitation of an ancient Chinese stoneware bowl placed on a square of Chinese carpet in the palace's museum room...

New York State had to pay 5.7% to float one tax-free issue; Baltimore, Louisville, Tulsa and Arlington, Va., canceled others.
