We, the people of at his country estate in Thank you, Joseph the United States have been Silted with a huge, excellent e art collection by a millionaire who. as a boy, was first attracted to art by reproductions of French masters published in an insurance company's calendar. The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden recently opened in Washington, DU., as part of the Smithsonian Museum complex. President Lyndon Johnson accepted this magnificent gift for the American people in lfKifi, and on your next trip to D C. you can enjoy one of the largest private art collections ever assembled. American painting from the late 19th century makes up the greater part of the painting collection, but also includes European painting of the last .K) years. The extensive sculpture collection includes some of the finest self-mad- examples available in modern art. Sculptors such as Colder, llepworth. Rickey, Di Suvero. Moore. Smith, Rodin. .Matisse. Lipschitz, Picasso, and Maillol; painters such as de Kooning. Mondrian. Bacon. Motherwell. Lichtenstein. Johns. Pollock. Noland, Miro. Wyeth. Bearden, on and on and on and on. All the greats of modern art. It makes my mind boggle. The collection numbers pieces by the thousands (not all of which are judged to be the and outstanding! museum was which especially designed for the collection has become the subject of much controversy and target of much criticism.

I un- derstand a goal of the 1 museum director is to periodically revolve the exhibitions so that the complete collection can even- tually be viewed. Abram Lemer, Mr. shhorn 's curator associate for 25 years now director of the museum, states in museum's newly-publishe- by Alan Crooks Hir- and and new the d introduction that, It is difficult to say just when Mr. Hirshhorn realized that his collection had outgrown its private status. The question of its future was often raised between us. and it became clear that he felt its size and importance imposed a special responsibility on him to preserve it intact and to eventually give it to the public. For the past 40 years Joseph Hirshhorn has been looking at, buying and loving modem art. The enor- frenetically discovering, mous energy spent over those is an obivous manifestation of his deep commitment to and love for modern art. He is, as evidenced by his life, in complete agreement with Monroe noted a Beardsley, who said, aesthetician. What is the good of life itself. except to be as fully alive as we can become. ..This is precisely our experience of art. it is living in the best way we know how. ..Art gives us immediately and richly the best there is in life, intense awareness it gives us what life itself aims at becoming but seldom achieves outside of art." To gift someone with the thing you love and value the most is the greatest gesture one can make. Our thanks to Mr. Hirshhorn for the collection should also be coupled with thanks for feeling about us the wav he does. years After reviewing Something Happened last week, I feel it only appropriate to review something that might" this week. Science fiction. And for those of you who aren't into" science fiction, you might interested to learn that Sci-(as the publishers call it) accounts for about 15 percent of the total fiction market. And that's not half bad. best The awards for-th- e science fiction of the year are two: the Hugo award, given by the World Science Fiction Convention, and the Nebula award, given by the Science Fiction Writers of America. Few novels have ever won both. The last, as far as I know, was Ursula K. Leguin's The I .eft Hand of Darkness. Mrs. Legiun, the daughter of an eminent anthropologist, is one of those rare people who manages to take care of three children and find time to sit in her kitchen and turn out some of the most amazing stuff Ive ever read. Before her. Frank Herbert won both awards for I but think Dune. Ursula Legiun is as good. Besides. Herbert doesn't take care of three kids! But I am wandering. Back to the awards. This year there is another novel that might take both awards. Arthur C. Clarke's Kendevous with Kama. It has already picked up the Nebula award and by this time might well have won the Hugo. In Itendevous, Clarke deals with man's first encounter with a visitor from deep space. However, this en- counter isn't between spaceships, unless one uses the term loosely. Commander Bill Norton is asked to investigate a giant asteroid zipping along in space. When he and his crew approach the rendevous, they find not an asteriod, but a vast metallic cylinder (40 miles long) containing an entire world". Like Clarke's other efforts, the science" half of the novel is meticulously clear. As any good science fiction I've been told that The Protector has won the Hugo this year, but I don't believe it. Not yet, at feast. Not with the other competition. The other competition is Time Enough for Love by the grand old sci-f- i man himself, Robert Heinlein. During the last forty years, Heinlein has won the Hugo four times (the record ), so he cannot be counted out. Heinlein has won the award four times because he never does the same thing twice. And so Time Enough is a unique book. for Time Enough is the stories of Lazarus Long, whose life begins at the turn of the 20th century and continues and continues and continues until somewhere around the book ends. In all writer knows, the point of the story should focus on the human beings, and Clarke never lets his readers down. Rendevous with Kama is a fine effort, and would be my choice for the Hugo, in spite of the fact that I think Childhood's End was better. One of the other strongest contenders for the Hugo award is Larry Niven's Protector. Niven is the rising star of science fiction writers who refuses to base his stories on gadgetry; rather, he bases most of his plots on physically possible, researched ideas which have delighted the avid sci-f- i bugs for the last two or three years. In Protector, Niven again shows off his blazing 4291--whe- that time, Lazarus has always found time to work in beautiful women while exploring other planets and going through fifty vocations. There is really no central theme unless it is an anof thematic thology variations on a man who can not die. this is not However, Stranger in a Strange land. I get the feeling that Lazarus's stories are thirty years of Heinlein manuscripts dusted off. Heinlein lovers will enjoy them, but they are not going to create the cult that Stranger did. One reviewer stated that Time Enough for is going to be discussed for years to come. And that might he. For years they're going to compare it to the Illustrated Man. There are the competitors for the Hugo. If anybody finds out who won; will you let me talent and mathematical background in the story of Jack Brennan, an astro miner who undergoes a physical and mental transformation. However, I should mention that Niven is a complex writer, and sometimes difficult the for reader to follow. This is especially true of Protector , a two-panovel set two centuries apart. The reader is forced to keep shifting gears to keep up with what's happening to Jack. rt Sift together flour, powder, soda and seasonings. Cream together shortening, sugar and vanilla.

A great movie to see if you are an incurable James Bond fan. but a pale eomparison to the Bond flicks of the past. Perhaps it was lecnii.se I was a fairly young twit when I first saw Sean Connery as agent 007. hut I did enjoy the surrealistic spy flicks when I first vidieyed them alxiut ten years ago. I.ie and 11 Die is but another example of film fantasy overdise. The Opera House blurb gives a good example of what to expect from the movie. "Roger Moore is James Bind up to his old tricks with lieautiful girls, gadgets and gimmicks galore." If that is w lint you are to expect ( and it is liasically very true), why would anyone want to see this film? It has been done before, and generally done better. For instance. Roger Moore has Ix'en given the difficult task of playing Scan Connery. Cmnery was so effective at the James Bond role that he practically ruined his acting career. No matter what role he played after the Bond movies, the audience identified him as agent 007. Moore will never be James Bond to the majority of the filmgoers. hut he must try. And. of course. Bond is up to his old tricks. Beautiful girls, gadgets and gimmicks were a trademark of these films. The problem is that it is old. The beautiful girls no longer seem risque when compared to the porn flicks that have been shown in the past five years. The gadgets and gimmicks now seem blase in an era of moon flights, sophisticated bugging devices, (it was only a cheap $2000 Sony) and smart bombs. (dumb generals?) It all all adds up to an obsolete type of movie. What was right for the Sixties is not necessarily right for the Seventies While I don't advocate throwing away old Heatle and Slones albums, and would even recommend going to see Goldfinger or Thunderball (for a great glimpse of the American mind just prior to the Viet-NaWar). I would he very disappointed if the Stones came out with an album that sounded like a copy of Aftermath. Live and I.H Die is wrong for the seventies, and the chances are good that most people will be turned off by the cold war attitude. If you have never seen a Bond flick, you might try the film just for the experience. I for one, in the spirit of detent, would rather let die. He stated that except for a few examples, most films stay in the public's consciousness for three years at the longest. After that, they are generally sold to T.V. Good films are like good Ixxiks. They are enjoyable long after they are released. If you are fortunate enough to lie a rich film lover you can spend bundles of money on private prints and showings. Most of us have to lie content with the local theaters and the late show, which are usually frustrating. EnThat's Hopefully tertainment will develop new interest in old films, and complete films will follow. Thats Entertainment is meant as a purely fun film.

That's Entertainment! has no such problem. It is an example of film nostalgia, and is labeled that way. While I do get turned off by some of the PR hype. I applaud MGM's efforts to bring these old clips before audiences. While I dont agree with the premise that the only good films were made before the fifties, most people don't realize two good some of the films were hack then. Even though Hollywood was caught up in a romantic fantasy, they still had some excellent directors, actors, and actresses. Thats Entertainment is one companys view of their finest product. By the very nature of the media, film tends to become an art form without a history. Generations grow up to know only those films that are currently being released. I once asked a theater owner why he didn't bring back Stanley Kubrick's delightful little farce. Dr. Strangelove.
