The next day, Forbes inflated his balloon once more for a group of athletes at a stadium outside Peking, giving them rides up to the length of the tether and down again.

Rembrandt Shadow of Doubt N ERAL ELECTRIC Surrounds Artwork By United Press International British art expert said Saturday that despite a report casting doubt about the authenticity of 44 Rembrandt paintings including 11 in the United States they are works of art nonetheless and should not be dismissed as fakes. "What it all comes down to in the end is that however often the labels change, the quality of the picture remains the same," said David Piper,, director of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England. "People think that because a it is picture is not by somehow evil and they shouldn't get any pleasure from it. One does want to know what things are, but it's not exactly what appeals to me in art at the moment." The report said a "Self Portrait of Rembrandt" hanging at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York is among those believed to have been painted by another artist possibly a Rembrandt understudy. Joan Ingles, a Met spokeswoman, said all Rembrandts at the museum "have been thoroughly studied and A we feel sure they are originals." But if any are proved not to be authentic, she said the museum could substitute the Rembrandt label with one attributing it to "the school of Rembrandt or an understudy. "They are good works anyway," she said, "even if they're done by an understudy."
