Tower has taken to calling Krueger, who is 43, unmarried and the inheritor of a medium-sized family fortune, Little Lord Fauntleroy. Not to be outdone, a Krueger aide recently sent an article to newspaper editors all over the state which insinuates that Tower is a womanizer who likes his whiskey. The ploy so incensed Tower that he canceled four joint T.V. appearances with Krueger, claiming that his rival is "uninhibited by the truth." Last week Tower refused to shake hands with Krueger, who has yet to apologize for the mailing of the article. That's serious business...
...rough spots and all, Politicks is a worthy conception well carried out. Its tabloid form is very attractive--you almost want to buy it just for the pictures and for the cartoons by Ed Sorel, the Voice cartoonist who is a true inheritor of Thomas Nast's tradition of political caricature in this country, among others. The real factor of course, will be money. This week's 28-page issue contains about four pages of ads, and the general rule of thumb says that to break even about half the issue has to be advertisements. Look for a 24-page...
...inheritor of these problems as Nigeria's new head of state is Brigadier Muritala Rufai Mohammed, 38, formerly Minister of Communications and architect of the 1966 coup that brought Gowon to power.

One powerful wing of American Establishment taste-the Greenberg circle, which includes such critics as Michael Fried and curators like Boston's Kenworth Moffett and MOMA'S Rubin-is disposed to think of him as the most important sculptor alive: the sole inheritor to David Smith. This has been announced so often in the past ten years that it has become a pedagogical dogma...
Guild-Like Family. He was a fastidious inheritor who left no heirs, and this seems to have been as true in the sense of family as that of cultural choice. The Guggenheim's retrospective opens with a separate exhibition - also funded by a grant from the Alcoa and Pro Helvetia Foundations - entitled Three Swiss Painters. This is the first detailed look the U.S. public has had at the work of Giacometti's family circle of gifted painters, who surrounded him with protective confidence. They are his godfather Cuno Amiet (1868-1961), his cousin Augusto Giacometti...
