GEORGE WALLACE RUES AND RELISHES THE PAST by Peter Applebome
"His thoughts, he says, are more on the next world than this
one, but as he lies beneath a brooding cloud of smoke from his
Garcia y Vega cigars, George Corley Wallace is still hoping
for redemption before death as well as after it." (A1, A26)
 
PLAYA GIRON JOURNAL: AT THE BAY OF PIGS, TOURISTS STORM THE
BEACHES by Howard W. French
"Not far from the simple wood-frame home of Antinogenes
Alvarez, one of this town's few remaining veterans of
Cuba's defeat of the American-mounted Bay of Pigs
invasion in 1961, a fading billboard announces, 'Welcome
to the Site of the First Defeat of Imperialism in the
Western Hemisphere.'" (A4)
 
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: GUGGENHEIM MUSEUM TO KEEP ITS NAME
"The Solomon R. Guggenheim name will not be displaced on this
landmark building because of Samuel J. and Ethel LeFrak's
unrestricted $10 million gift to the museum." Edward Cortese,
Vice President, Lefrak Organization (A34)
 
A GOLDEN AGE NEW TO AMERICA by Michael Kimmelman
"No jokes, please. An exhibition called 'The Golden Age
of Danish Painting' may sound like the one about a cookbook
called 'Great English Cuisine.'"
     "The Golden Age of Danish Painting"
and "From Caspar David Friedrich to Ferdinand
Hodler: A Romantic Tradition, 19th-Century Paintings and
Drawings from the Oskar Reinhart Foundation, Winterthur,"
will be at the Met through April 24. (C1, C36)
 
ELECTRONIC ARTS' MOVE REFLECTS INDUSTRY TREND
by John Markoff
"Electronic Arts' planned acquisition of Broderbund Software
in a $400 million stock swap, announced late Wednesday, reflects
an industry trend likely to influence the balance of power in the
emerging interactive television business." (D3)
 
HOME VIDEO by Peter M. Nichols
Art Spiegelman's comic-book study of the Holocaust, "Maus: A
Survivor's Tale" has been put out on a compact disk to be
released Tuesday by the Voyager Company ($59.95). Also, next month
the company will release a CD-ROM of "Macbeth" with 1,500 annotations
and a 24,000-word commentary, a digitized video of an entire
Royal Shakespeare Company production plays on a small patch of
screen. "Then there is the 'Macbeth karaoke," which allows
the viewer to perform a role during a separate reading." (D17)
 
That's all.
