Republican Hour. Inside Convention Hall stands a 19-ft.-high, 500-lb. sculpture that epitomizes the party's high hopes for 1968. From its stainless steel stems hang 24 freeform wooden leaves. Twenty-three of them bear cameo-style carvings of past Presidents, including every Republican elected since Lincoln broke the ice in 1860. The 24th is blank, but the conventioneers, their euphoria heightened by the sun, surf and sand of Miami Beach, are confident that it will some day bear the likeness of whomever the G.O.P. happens to nominate this week...

...tribunal listened sympathetically to his case. With obvious admiration, Chief Judge Paul Mouzon studied two Guino statuettes displayed in court. And when the courtroom debate finally ended, he asked Paris Art Dealer Alfred Daber to spend up to six months studying the essential question: Do the disputed works bear Guino's "personal stamp, even a modest one," or can they be considered "as belonging entirely to Auguste Renoir in spite of Guino's skill and dexterity"?
