...Delacroix's birth rolled around in 1898, France made nothing of the occasion for, as impressionism grew in favor, paintings of the great romantic offended public taste. Now, on the centennial of his death, it seems as if the art world cannot hear or see enough of Ferdinand Victor Eugène Delacroix. A spate of articles has appeared in the art magazines on both sides of the Atlantic, and at least three new books on him are coming out.* Earlier this year Toronto put on a Delacroix retrospective, and 3 last week six memorial exhibitions were running...
Prescott is often quoted today, but seldom, if ever, read. To put him back into circulation, Historian Irwin Blacker has soldered together generous excerpts from Prescott's four books-Ferdinand and Isabella, The Conquest of Mexico, The Conquest of Peru and Philip II. Prescott may have had no first-hand experience of Spain, but he had what was perhaps better-good friends in the U.S. diplomatic service.

Joining Landau as Nobel Laureates last week were British Scientists Dr. John Cowdery Kendrew, 45, and Dr. Max Ferdinand Perutz, 48, of Cambridge's Laboratory of Molecular Biology, who shared the Nobel award for chemistry. After involved experiments using X rays, Perutz and Kendrew mapped the complex three-dimension architecture of two protein molecules-hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood, and myoglobin, which delivers oxygen to muscles. This achievement is an important early step toward a more complete understanding of proteins, the building blocks of all life...
