...flourish of ceremony and sentiment, Britain's 41st Parliament-last week held its final session. Wigged and white-ruffled, the Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod summoned M.P.s to hear Queen Elizabeth's dissolution speech. Less than an hour later, the Queen's writs went out to 630 parliamentary constituencies, and Britain's 1959 election campaign was officially under...
Last week, as the Legion met in Minneapolis for its 41st convention, an attempt was made for the tenth straight year to force the 40 & 8 to accept nonwhites-and for the first time the motion came to a floor vote.

For the announcement, the Reids gathered in a seventh-floor office of the Trib's Manhattan building on dingy West 41st Street: tiny, doughty Helen Rogers Reid, 75, who ran the paper from the 1947 death of her husband Ogden Mills Reid until 1955, and her sons Whitelaw, 45, and Ogden, 33, who thereafter worked mightily to cure its ills. "This is a development," said boyish Ogden ("Brownie") Reid, "that...
