...throne for 50 years?until an assassin's bullet ended his reign. His son, Constantine I, had equally bad luck, was twice deposed by the politicians. Then came George II ("the unsmiling King"), who lost the throne to a republican coup in 1924, remained in exile for eleven years before returning, and went into exile again shortly after the Italians and Germans invaded Greece in World...
...their shots away before Chamberlain could get set on defense. All that running merely tired the Celtics: in four of the five games, they jumped into early leads, only to run out of gas. The last game was typical. In the first quarter, the Celtics were ahead by eleven points; by half time their margin was down to five-and the final score was Philadelphia 140, Boston 116. The 76ers still had to get past the Western Division's San Francisco Warriors to claim their first N.B.A. title. But many fans and experts argued that the two best teams...
...many of his suburban Washington, D.C., acquaintances in the 1950s, Morris Louis Bernstein was simply a peevish, chain-smoking, introverted art teacher. About all the world knew was that he was married to a high school principal, never discussed what he was doing during the eleven hours and more a day that he spent in his studio.

Boeing hopes to deliver the first models to West Germany's Lufthansa and to United Air Lines late this year. With a range of 1,300 miles, the 580-m.p.h. 737 can carry up to 101 passengers seated six abreast in its 12-ft. 4-in.-wide cabin. That is every bit as beamy as Boeing's longer 707s, 720s and 727s. A stretched-out version, the 737-200, will accommodate 117 travelers, and also comes...
...eleven years since he was killed in a car crack-up at the age of 44, Abstract Expressionist Jackson Pollock, fabled for his whiplash paintings, truculent insistence on wearing cowboy boots, and his drunken rages, has ceased to be regarded as a guru among his fellow artists. A more sophisticated public is no longer shocked by the fact that he dribbled and threw paint at his monumental canvases instead of applying it with a brush. For those accustomed to the bright glow of neon, even his colors seem calm. In short, Pollock has become something that many artists dread more...
