...seen when the Pauling case and others like it are appealed. To date, lower courts have been divided on the question. Some judges, like Silverman, have expanded the Sullivan decision to include "public figures" as well as "public officials." Others have stuck to a stricter interpretation. General Edwin A. Walker, for example, was clearly a public figure when he turned up at the University of Mississippi's integration riots in 1962; he had earned his share of notoriety by indoctrinating his troops with John Birch literature. But when he appeared on campus he was not acting in any official...
...American-"stop orders," the device by which investors can automatically lessen losses by selling out when stocks drop to a pre-set figure, were ruled out. On some stocks (21 on the Big Board and 13 on Amex) special margin requirements were set. American Exchange President Edwin D. Etherington last week reminded investors that "it is important, at all times, for people who assess the potential rewards of sound investment to ponder as well the inherent risks of ill-advised or casual speculation."

In the 1850s, his eloquent flair for embodying the nation's grand notion of "manifest destiny" made his paintings public events. On one day alone in 1857, Horace Greeley, George Bancroft, George Ripley, Henry Ward Beecher and Charles A. Dana were among the crowds that filed past Church's Niagara. Two years later, the throngs that flocked to his studio to see The Heart of the Andes were so dense...
...Season in the Tropics (opposite), painted after a trip to Jamaica, is an imaginary landscape, setting the Andes amid the lush tropical vegetation of the Caribbean. With its double-arched rainbow and rain-cleansed atmosphere, says Smith Professor David Huntington, author of the recently published The Landscapes of Frederic Edwin Church, it represents "the ne plus ultra of hope, an Alpine Genesis...
