PAUL MATTHEWS-Zabriskie, 36 East 61st. The first one-man show by a young New Yorker who takes his titles from James Joyce, puns with lines much as the Irish writer did with words. His major painting is the Temptation of St. Anthony; the poor saint looks absolutely abashed by the frantics of the lewd nudes who surround him in a sea of fleshy tones, raw red mouths and undulating shapes.

Harper's editor since 1953, Fischer has written two books on foreign affairs, and a collection of his magazine columns will be published in September as The inscrutable Americans. Fischer has also contributed to Life and the New Yorker...

New Yorker rates were not what they are today, and his survival as a writer during the bleak years is a mystery to his friends and even to him. But he was determined from the start not to be diverted from fulltime writing by the mere need to eat. For a while he lived on stale bread and buttermilk in a $3 room on Hudson Street. Yaddo, the writers' colony run by Mrs. Elizabeth Ames...
