Originally, Juan Carlos insisted that he would never accept the throne as long as his father was alive. But last January, in an interview with Spain's official news agency, he remarked that he had come to lean toward "political legality."

From the Bauhaus drawing boards, lean, well-proportioned buildings came forth to challenge the Gothic, Baroque and neoclassic structures of the day. One of the best examples of the austere new look was Gropius' design for the Bauhaus' second home in Dessau.

Though no American film maker has yet achieved the stature of Italy's Visconti or Britain's David Lean, a handful seem to be well on their way: ∙ ARTHUR PENN. A product of television and stage work, Penn successfully brought his Broadway hit, The Miracle Worker, to the screen. At first, he proved better at transferring than at creating. His early experiment, The Left-Handed Gun, starring...
Other men have lost their lives in the Civil War; Milo has lost his identity. He remembers nothing that happened before his war injury.

The next morning the preacher is found hacked to death and Milo has vanished. George pushes on to a new town and eventually to a new home. But he knows that...
