ROY LICHTENSTEIN ON BOBBY KENNEDY

Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein who painted this week's cover, says that Kennedy is one of the very few real people he has ever portrayed. The 44 year -old artist usually turns out comic-strip-style superheroes with square jaws and their girl friends with superperfect coiffures. What he liked most about Kennedy he says was his »lively, upstart quality and pop-heroic proportions as part of a legend»
