...wing of California's La Jolla Museum of Art, grade-school kids excitedly picked through piles of Barbie-doll heads, eyeballs, limbs and torsos for parts to build an abstract model of a city. Elsewhere, they lugged huge $2,100 movie cameras about to film the summertime activity at the museum...
Less than 48 hours later, as Navy Phantom and Skyhawk jets lined up for morning bombing missions against the North, the Forrestal's fire bells sounded again, and the pilot's worst fears were realized. A fuel tank fell from the wing of an A-4 Skyhawk and ruptured, spilling gas onto a sizzling steam catapult. Fanned by 35-mile-an-hour gusts, fireballs leaped to other fully loaded planes, trapping the pilots inside. As bombs and rockets exploded on the 1,000-ft.-long flight deck, the flames spread to the hangar deck far below. Engulfed...

Today college museums across the country aspire both to finer art and glossier quarters. In April, the University of Michigan reopened a renovated $750,000 museum, and Brown will soon break ground for a new $2,000,000 art building. Other schools that, since 1958, have opened new buildings...
