...400th day of captivity for the 52 Americans in Iran, the father of Hostage Kevin Hermening raised the 400th U.S. flag at Hillcrest cemetery in Hermitage, Pa. The flag had once flown over the U.S.S. Arizona, which 39 years ago fell under attack from the Japanese at Pearl Harbor. The 404th day, however, brought new hopes for the hostages' imminent return-hopes that were lowered almost as soon as the 404th flag was raised...
Gentleman and scholar, diplomat and master painter, Peter Paul Rubens was that rare artist, at home with himself and his society. His orchestrations of the Christian, the mythic and the historical have endured as voluptuous celebrations of human passion and faith.

In recovering from the aftereffects of Eugene's birth, his mother, who had hoped for a daughter, became addicted to morphine...
...grubbed for several years at the grass roots, it seemed only right that handsome, hardworking Donald Hamerquist should be rewarded with an official role in Oregon's Democratic establishment. Thus a year ago, he was allowed to run unopposed for the post of committeeman for the 400th Precinct in Portland's Multnomah County and was duly elected 88 to 0. Hamerquist's harmony with the party was unbroken until last March, when an FBI informer revealed that he was a card-carrying member of the Communist Party. To the consternation of the Democrats, Hamerquist readily admitted...
