...Liberace, Comedienne Dorothy Loudon and Tanya the Elephant were brought together for the first time. It was not exactly a dry run with Dean. For one thing, Dean didn't bother to take part; for another, he was breaking out the dressing-room bottle and splashing himself a tall Scotch and water. Then came dress rehearsals, the cue for Martin's second Scotch and a gagging, ragging appearance onstage. Then dinner break and another Scotch. "We'd rather have him do it only once and have it fresh," says Director Greg Garrison. And after dinner...
...During the 9th century, statues of healing Buddhas became popular. The 5-ft.-tall Yakushi Nyorai (see opposite page, center) is the most important survivor of the Gangō-ji temple near Nara, once Japan's foremost city. Yet, for all the sanctity surrounding it, this Japanese statue is a bold departure from traditional Chinese elegance. In this Buddha's broad shoulders, strength replaces softness.

...Allied captors at Nürnberg, the Field Marshal seemed to be the essence of all that was evil in Junkerdom. Tall and taciturn, a monocle screwed tight in one chilly pale eye, his boots gleaming with metronomic precision as he paced the stone floor of his cell, the prisoner never complained and never begged for mercy. When the gallows trap was sprung on Oct. 16, 1946, and Wilhelm Bodewin Johann Gustav Keitel dropped to his death, it is doubtful that he had any regrets. Keitel had long before reached the end of his rope...
