Scientific Diet

Diego Maria Conception Juan Nepo-muceno Estanislao de la Rivera y Barrientos Acosta y Rodriguez, 58, better known as Painter Diego Rivera, glorified revolution in his murals. Now he turns out rousing nudes for night-club walls, and full-length appreciations of Mexican society beauties. Through Excelsior's columnist Tibon, Rivera recently revealed an earlier devotion to women which was even more consuming.

As a youth in Paris, claimed Rivera, who loves a tall tale and knows how to tell one, he ate women. His motive was scientific: to prove that the human species thrives best on the flesh of its own kind. Male meat was good. (Rivera's present ambition, he said, is to taste a rump steak from Hermann Goring.) But female meat was better. Women's brains, said Rivera, should not be derided. Pickled, they are delicious. And, there was nothing more toothsome than a breaded chop cut from a charming young woman.
