Steaming through San Francisco as the prize exhibit of the city's "London Week," England's saber-tongued Prince Philip left a trail of wounded feelings after engagements with photographers, city officials, and students at the University of California. But he saved his sharpest lip for his own countrymen. At a showing of British painting and sculpture at the San Francisco Museum of Art, the Prince stared at Relief Construction, by Sculptor Victor Passmore, and growled: "That looks like something to hang a towel on." His opinion of Lynn Chadwick's Black Beast: "A coffin for a beatnik." And a white canvas with blue square by Painter William Scott reminded him of an empty Piccadilly signboard.
* Enshrined last week in the First Ladies Hall of the Smithsonian Institution was the white pran d'ange gown, beaded chiffon overblouse and cape that Jackie wore only once to the Inaugural Ball.
The dress is exhibited on a plaster mannequin of Jackei's size and shape; but the face, like those of the other effigies, is a stylized version of Cordelia, King Lear's daugher.
