...week-long will-she-or-won't-she drama was over. Citing what she described as "unjustifiable criticism" leveled at her husband, New York's Senator Jacob Javits, Marion Javits quit her $67,500-a-year job as a public relations consultant for Iran's national airline. Her decision obviously relieved the Senator, who is both a ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a leading advocate of U.S. support for Israel. But some feminists, among them Ms. magazine's Gloria Steinem, thought that the conflict-of-interest problem in the Javits household might...
...flap in the household of New York's senior Senator Jacob Javits was rapidly becoming something of a political soap opera. When the story of his wife Marion's $67,500-a-year job representing Iran's national airline for a Manhattan public relations firm first broke two weeks ago, Husband Jack, 71, gamely allowed that his wife, 51, made "independent judgments" about her professional life; he brushed aside charges that her job compromised his integrity as a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and a staunch supporter of Israel.

Last July the church's convention authorized Preus to dump dissident district presidents 60 days before they were up for reelection. Herman Neunaber of the Southern Illinois District was the first to reach such a deadline. But last week Preus chose "counseling and brotherly admonition" for Neunaber...
...photography and its practitioners from 1839 to the present. Beaton's introduction is elegant and concise, as are the biographical sketches of more than 200 photographers. Inevitably, gaps and biases appear. Salon and experimental artists receive favored treatment, while the works of such realists as Matthew Brady, Jacob Riis and Walker Evans are hastily passed by. Even so, the book is painless instruction and inspired anthology...
