Like many a later Greek, Domenikos Theotokopoulos as a young man found Greece too small for him, went to seek his fortune elsewhere. But Domenikos Theotokopoulos never forgot he was a Greek. Haughty, aloof and fiercely independent, he went to Italy, studied with Titian, warmed his hands at the dying flames of the Italian Renaissance. He got a little too close to the fire. When he claimed arrogantly that he himself could do a better job on the Last Judgment, than Michelangelo, "a good fellow, but with no idea of painting," Italy's art world became...

Last summer Dr. Di Ghilini beheld and coveted, in West Hollywood's Old Colony Antique Shop, a throne which appeared to him to be of hammered silver and gold, of the 16th Century or earlier. Summoning his powers of hocuspocus, Dr. Di Ghilini made small purchases, casually asked Joseph Osiel, tall, excitable part owner of the shop, about the throne. It would cost $2,000, said...
