...every point, the testimony was conflicting. Although every investigation had discredited the original Guard claim that a civilian sniper had opened fire first, one former student, Joy Bishop, testified that she saw a gunman shoot in the air just before the Guard volley. Other students standing beside her testified that they had seen nobody on the spot where she said she had seen the gunman. One student, Harry Montgomery, said a Guardsman identified as Sgt. Myron Pryor had fired first; Pryor denied it. Guardsman James Pierce, who had said in 1970 that Pryor had instructed the troops to shoot...
...experts. He directed that lawyers decide by Sept. 11 which ballistics expert should handle the matter and what procedures should be followed.

In his recently opened North Jutland Museum of the Arts in Aalborg, Denmark, Aalto confronted the most difficult challenge in museum design: natural lighting. Most architects avoid...
Thus Warren's central paradox: U.S. writers have been the bearers "of bad tidings of great joy." The joy comes from their very freedom to complain, and their message, no matter how resentful, is really "an adventure in the celebration of life." A work of art is more than just an independent image. It is an assertion of the artist's own liberation...
