Feininger and Marisol are not for sale, and-fortunately-neither is Alexander Calder's Pull Toy with Rocks. The usually delicate Calder touch does not work on the four Ballantine Ale cans he has strung together with wire and filled with clashing, crashing stones. Pop Artist Andy Warhol perpetrates a botu-listic sick joke: a dozen T shirts (which unadorned sell for 50? apiece) carry his silk-screen representation of the tainted tuna tins that poisoned two Detroit housewives nine months ago Price: $300 each...
...wrote and produced, Carl Foreman wrote, produced, and this time directed an epic he calls a "personal statement" about the futility of war. Both victor and vanquished are losers, Foreman says.

Some hunters swear by collies and cockers, and it is not uncommon to find a German shepherd or even a great Dane ranging through the cornfields.
