Died. Arthur Upham Pope, 88, the world's foremost authority on ancient Persian art and culture; of a heart attack; in Shiraz, Iran. Pope devoted his life to studying, lecturing and writing about the Persian civilization. In London in 1931, he organized the greatest exhibit of Persian art ever held. His massive six-volume Survey of Persian Art (1938) is still the definitive work in its field. "Turn back! Turn back!" he once cried. "Look to the ancients.

There was nothing she could do, though, about the exhibit opening last week at Manhattan's Museum of Modern Art, which paid her the honor of exhibiting 65 photos of Hepburn in many of her greatest roles.
