...deftly the Greeks-and Romans and Etruscans-wrought this versatile metal from 1700 B.C. onward can be seen from a display of 316 classical bronzes, covering a period of 23 centuries, selected from 79 private and museum collections by David Gordon Mitten of Harvard's Fogg Art Museum (see color opposite). The first exhibition on such a scale ever to be circulated in the U.S., the classical bronzes will be shown at the City Art Museum of St. Louis in March, later at the Los Angeles County Museum...

The Supreme Court agreed to take the case, and last week the justices heard oral...
...very fact that they were reviewing the overturned conviction seemed a sign that the court's majority did not agree with the First Circuit's reasoning. In an earlier case, the court had allowed the Second Circuit's affirmation of the conviction of Card Burner David Miller to stand without interference. Any remaining hopes that O'Brien may have had must have waned when the justices began questioning his attorney...
