THERE IS a double homecoming at the Fogg. The Grenville L. Winthrop Retrospective is an exhibit of the Fogg's greatest bequest, given by Grenville Winthrop in 1943. The show evokes the collection's first home in Mr. Winthrop's East 81st Street apartment, and simultaneously establishes how much at home it is in the Fogg Museum on Quincy Street. I have never seen such a combination of warmth and excellence in a show here -- professional in its catalogue, hanging, and choosing of objects and so intimate at the same time...
...Kinds of Women. The engravings, as usual fully subscribed in advance in editions of 50 each, have been assembled into an exhibit titled simply "347 Gravures" and mounted simultaneously in Paris and Chicago; the show is just finishing a six-week run at the Galerie Louise Leiris, but by popular demand The Art Institute of Chicago has extended it for another month. The engravings represent what may well be the most exhaustive study of genitals, mainly female, ever seen in legitimate art galleries. Says his longtime dealer and friend, Daniel-Henry Kahn-weiler: "His work has always been profoundly autobiographical...
Simplicity, spareness and clarity are the order of the evening, and that alone makes the show a treat by contrast to most other Broadway musicals. There is no piston-pumping chorus testing the floorboards in Celebration, only a small gentle band of masked dancers decked in the costumes and spirit of a carnival.

Campbell has also developed an easygoing stage presence, and although he still laces his conversation with exuberant shouts of "wooowhee!" Billstowners would probably consider him suspiciously sophisticated. Besides having his own TV show, he has been signed to make six movies, starting with the forthcoming True Grit, a western in which he co-stars with John Wayne. In all, Campbell figures to make about $3,000,000 this year, which is mighty good for somebody who recalls that he spent most of his early life "lookin' at the north end of a southbound mule. I always thought the world...
Schaefer's statistics show that one-sixth of the nation is ill-fed-a definite improvement over Franklin D. Roosevelt's "one-third of a nation," but appalling nonetheless. One of every three children under six in Schaefer's sampling is anemic and 3.5% are physically stunted, a condition often accompanied by mental retardation. Among those ten or older, 96% have an average of ten missing, filled or decayed teeth. Particularly disquieting was the resurgence of diseases that were thought to have been wiped out. Among them...
