Decorative Futility? Although this split decision was diplomatically designed to please everybody, those few people who still think art prizes mean more than pumpkin pie awards at a county fair were hardly satisfied.

At St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church, Muratore's body, clad in a Capuchin's robes, lay in a $1,575 casket with silver fittings, surrounded by floral offerings.

...sounder assessment is that of Rio's independent O Globo, which wrote on Quadros' inauguration: "He will not be easily managed by anyone. He could be a great President. He certainly will not be an easy...
