...large collection," explains S.M.U. Director William Jordan, "but rather one of the best." S.M.U. has already acquired some fine Goya engravings, a distinguished Velásquez portrait; other works by artists ranging from Zurbaran to Miró. The loveliest of the lot is Murillo's landscape showing Jacob with Laban's flocks (see color overleaf). As the tale is related in Genesis, Laban, who owned the sheep, told Jacob he would be paid for tending them with any lambs born spotted or speckled, and Jacob's method of inducing speckled progeny was to lay peeled branches before...
...society" by examining G. B. Shaw's Heartbreak House as symptomatic of a strain of "social ignorance and aloofness" in English literature since World War I. With an incisive and lively style, DeYoung's fast-moving argument is more speculative than conclusive, but convincing just the same.

Harvard students involved in the trial are Jesse L. Kornbluth '67-4, Stephen D. Lerner '68, Jacob S. Egan '68, Gordon R. Foote Jr. '70, Jared Rossman '71, and Lewis S. W.

...with joy at the prospect of an unimpeded road to the nomination (see following story). McCarthyites invited Republican doubters to join their camp. The G.O.P.'s moderate wing drooped visibly. "Now we've had two ships shot out from under us," said New York's Senator Jacob Javits. Gov ernor Tom McCall of Oregon expressed "deep disappointment." In his state, Rocky backers had gathered 50,000 signatures of support in preparation for the May 28 primary, which would have been Rockefeller's most promising confrontation with Nixon. McCall had even cranked out press releases warmly praising...
