...modern style through art deco. In the studios of beaux-arts figures like Saint-Gaudens and Karl Bitter, as well as those of decorators like Paul Manship and protomodernists like Gaston Lachaise, John Storrs and Elie Nadelman, sculpture made its last pub lic stand before the museum became its sole arena...
...declining catches and soaring fresh-fish prices. In 1957 more than 1 billion lbs. of fish were caught off New England; by 1974 the catch had been chopped about in half, to 521 million lbs. As late as October 1971, yellowtail flounder (commonly served in East Coast restaurants as sole) brought 6? per lb. at New Bedford's daily fish auctions; last week the price was 85?.

...television is exhibited in its ripest form this week (NBC, Wednesday, 9 p.m. E.S.T.) by Jack Lemmon, starring in a remake of John Osborne's The Entertainer. Archie Rice, that talentless, foul-spirited denizen of show biz's low depths, is, of course, the creation and sole property of Laurence Olivier-perhaps the greatest performance in a nonclassic role by the man who is our age's prince of players. There is no hope of duplicating what he did in that part. So it is hard to know what possessed Lemmon to put himself in a position...
