...things to drink, a new art gallery blossomed last week on Manhattan's artiest street, East 57th, with an opening exhibition that snapped one more spat-button of respectability on the artistic insurgents of 1918: Derain, Picasso, Van Gogh, Gauguin, Matisse.

...side of the porch Prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Hosea, Amos, Micah; on the other side followers of Christ SS. Simeon, Stephen, Paul, Barnabas, Timothy. Carved above them on the arch of the porch are two rows of angels framing a row of greatest scientists (Hippocrates to Albert Einstein, only living person yet figured in the whole church), a row of philosophers (Pythagoras to Ralph Waldo Emerson, only American figured), a row of religious leaders (Moses to David Livingstone. African missionary, explorer). High on the porch's tympanum surrounded by Mark's lion, Matthew's angel, John...
