...Fogg Museum sponsored the exhibit's transfer to the United States, including its scheduled opening at the National Gallery on December 16. The Fogg will display the 65-piece exhibit later this spring, Peter Walsh, public information officer at the Fogg, said yesterday...
...whose voices go a little flat on the high notes. Alison Carey's Gwen--the youngest Cavendish, who's torn between love and the stage--gives a fine performance except when called upon, in the ineptly-written love scenes or her own renunciation of a stage career, to display excesses of emotion. Rounding out the clan, Michael Cantor's Anthony--the rake of the family, who sold out to Hollywood--hams his way through his part with plenty of panache but without some of the stature you might expect...
...latest foray into Iowa, Bush's strengths and weaknesses were on display. In the town of Spencer, Bush, the graduate of Andover and Yale, moves easily among several score Republicans assembled at a modest country club fund raiser.

One is a retrospective of John Singer Sargent at the Detroit Institute of Arts...

The bells of the Byzantine Church of the Resurrection are ringing. There is a red carpet. People offer flowers. Father Vladimir Shtepa, apologizing for his parish's lack of important icons, says: "The people are our treasure." The 5,000 parishioners are mostly farmers and seem old, though again some 30% are young. Shtepa professes a religious relativism: "The main principle of Christianity and Marxism...
