...Eugenie Anderson, 56, ex-Democratic national committeewoman from Minnesota, former Ambassador to Denmark (1949-53), later Minister to Bulgaria (1962-64), as representative to the Trusteeship Council, succeeding Mrs. Marietta Tree...
...crates were soon pried away to reveal the two sections of what Moore called Reclining Figure, wallowing high and dry like a pair of sunburnt whales. The setting would have made Michelangelo turn green with envy: a tree-dotted promenade designed for people bound for cultural experiences. Said Moore, 67, on hand to supervise the installation: "I like the idea of the space being surrounded by controlled building."

This too is a chase-through some of the most boring location shots outside of home movies.

There are no rows of mul tiple-story tenements or concrete canyons. Its streets are generally broad, occasionally tree-lined and bordered by dusty lawns. Its dwellings are mostly one-and two-story frame and stucco houses. But in the small rented houses and apartments, money-short Negroes often crowd four and five families; children are left alone while parents work, and youths roam the streets seeking relief from...
