...Selgas, making room for a high-rise apartment building. On the outskirts of the city, Dodge Darts are rolling out of a vast factory complex that less than a year ago was an empty field. Europe's biggest supermarket opened two years ago on the exclusive Calle Velázquez. In a dim, dark-paneled bar on the Avenida de las Americas, boys in long hair and girls in white Vartan stockings sit carefully cool and immobile as a yé-yé band blasts out a yeah-yeah beat...
...cloth-coated walls, the new museum displays Ferré's 400-work, $3,000,000 collection. There are paintings by Velásquez, Gainsborough, Reynolds and Vandyke, but Ferré preferred gems to giants-and purchased excellent examples of pre-Raphaelite and Italian baroque painters long held unfashionable. "We have minor masters rather than poor paintings by the big masters," he says. But the museum is not intended only as a repository.

...form of dwarfism found by Dr. McKusick among the Amish in more than a dozen communities. It is a new kind of genetic defect. Doctors who earlier noticed cases of this kind of dwarfism among the Amish mistook it for achondroplasia, a form made familiar by Velásquez's paintings of dwarfs as court jesters, with short arms and legs, a large head and a "scooped-out" nose. But Dr. McKusick's team found significant differences. These Amish dwarfs do not have big heads or misshapen noses. Aside from their short arms and legs (from a defect...
