Andy Warhol, 32, is the Pop artist who won fame painting pictures of Campbell's Soup cans, and then topped that by making reproductions of shipping cartons for them.

Last week Caterpillar Tractor and May Department Stores joined the march by proposing 2-for-l splits. It looks like a big year in Splitsville...
...unbalancing act. All her devices are attention-getting devices and point astutely to the gnawing doubt of self at the heart of clowning. Barbra Streisand could be a gawkish version of Charlie Chaplin's Tramp, except that all the Tramp usually wanted was a full bowl of soup, and the character Barbra plays wants the world for her pearl-filled oyster...
