...dream. Behind a bare tree in the background hover the Philistines, ready to pounce upon the sheared ram of God. Watteau's study of lovers in a park makes black, white and red stand for all the colors of the rainbow. In Watteau, love and laughter blend into one. To round the gallery corner to Goya's Two Prisoners in Irons can be like taking a header off a cliff.

Guidance counselors are after bigger game: the brainy boy from a culture-poor family...
...standards, Drum is an improbable magazine. It began its real growth in 1951, when it was taken over by a onetime Royal Air Force pilot, London-born James R. A. Bailey, son of the late Sir Abe Bailey, South African financier. Jim Bailey made Drum a lively blend of chocolate cheesecake, sport, controversy, crusades, sensational features, tips to Africa's millions of pennywhistle gamblers, and inscrutable advice to the lovelorn (to a man who asked how he could retrieve the cash investment he had made in two potential wives, "Dolly," Drum's marital expert, coldly suggested: "Providence will...
