...Atkins is outgunned in Lowell and Lawrence, the other half of the Fifth District, big population centers which want more of the kind of revitalization Shea delivered for his home city. "Shea will take a good percentage here. Atkins has his work cut out for him," said Duke Juknovarian, chairman of the Lowell Democratic Committee, which four years ago adopted a policy of not endorsing candidates in the primary. In my 40 years in politics, I've never seen a fight like this. It's a tossup for the district...

Last week in London, Christie's auctioned off the 71 drawings for $28.5 million, including a record-breaking $4.8 million for Raphael's study of a head and hand. No drawing had ever before sold for more than $1 million. No sooner had the gavel dropped than "the greatest picture ever painted," J.M.W.
