He travels in a chauffeured black Cadillac, which he briefly exchanged during the 1973 energy crisis for a wine-red Buick, and frequents the fashionable Burning Tree Golf Club and Sans Souci Restaurant, where a salad of Bibb lettuce and anchovies is named in his honor. But he also cultivates a deceptively down-home cornpone image. He and Wife Harmolyn rarely go out at night. Most of their entertaining is casual, such as weekend barbecues-over mesquite wood from Texas. Walker has another specialty: fried catfish. Says he: "You get some Yankees...

Usually these pieces were mock-scientific-prolix classifications of fruit stains or upside-down plants at the Dutch pavilion, or, at the French, Roy Adzak's archaeological pastiche of fruit and vegetables embedded in plaster. In the Finnish pavilion, a sculptor named Olavi Lanu set forth a whole environment called Life in the Finnish Forest-blurred human figures made of earth, live moss, birch bark and other organic material. Granted that these quaint vegetative trolls would have looked better...
