...Walls. New York-born Robert Scull, 45, paid his way through nine years of part-time college by painting signs, ran his own industrial design firm through the 1940s. He and his wife Ethel, whom everybody calls "Spike," lived in a one-room flat a few blocks from the Museum of Modern Art and regarded its paintings as theirs. "Nearly all of our entertaining was held in the penthouse of the museum," Scull reminisces. Then Scull acquired a fleet of taxicabs, some real estate, and started making money...

Russell and New York-born Frederic Remington-is housed in the newest of U.S. museums, a graceful structure on a rise overlooking Fort Worth. In designing its facade, Manhattan Architect Philip Johnson (TIME, Sept. 5) to a large degree abandoned the austere international style that has dominated modern architecture, instead dipped far into the past for inspiration. The five archways and the tapered columns on the front portico go back to the Greek stoas and the Renaissance loggias that looked down upon...
