Under the Big Top. Circus Master John Ringling never could resist a painting big enough to display under a big top, and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., has contributed a swashbuckling, 7½-ft Veronese. Dime Store King Samuel Kress left one collection of Italian paintings to the National Gallery-and a second to 18 different museums around the U.S., three of whom sent contributions to the CRIA exhibit.

For years, friends and fans have urged him to tackle more serious themes, but MacDonald, who lives comfortably in a gulfside house on Siesta Key off Sarasota, insists that he is doing exactly what he wants. He feels no need, he says, to write "the Big Book," the kind written by "the Irvings-Irving Wallace, 'Irving' Robbins, 'Irving' Ruark, and that woman, 'Irving' Rand."
