UP MEXICO WAY HIGH ON ANY list of top foreign pavilions architecturally and exhibit-wise, Mexico is this year emphasizing its art and cultures and puting on a free one-hour show at the lagoon out front. Inside is a just-installed giant stone head from the pre-Columbian Olmec culture. Colonial and contemporary art and the nation's handcrafts are also represented. If you linger south of the border a while, you might try the pavilion's new Acapulco Bar and Fonda Santa Anita restaurant. Topping show are the thrilling Flying Eagles of Papantla re-creating a dizzying rain god invocation. They clib a 114-ft. pole from which, suspended by ropes, four swoop earthward in widening circles. As they descend, the fifth, their chief, dances, drums and plays flute on 20-in. platform atop pole.
