...Loyalist's Name. Miller is the modern, urban equivalent of the candidate who was born in a log cabin-he is the son of a factory janitor in Lockport, N.Y. (pop. 27,300), an industrial suburb of Buffalo. He worked to help pay his way through Notre Dame and the Union University Law School at Albany, entered the service during World War II, was commissioned a first lieutenant in 1945 and assigned to the Judge Advocate General's war-crimes section, where he was an assistant prosecutor at the Nurnberg trials. Returning to New York, Miller was elected...
...with a plan of his own-which would probably give Democrats at least one additional seat in Congress-and slipped the scheme through the state senate with the cooperation of ten conservative Republicans who had fallen out with Romney. This, complained Senate Majority Leader Stanley Thayer, a Romney loyalist, was a "secret diabolical move." Fuming with anger, Romney accused the dissident Republicans of a sellout, but ironically, he may have to sign the bill into law if it passes the lower house.

Ex-President Villeda Morales and ex-Presidential Candidate Rodas Alvarado were packed aboard an air force C-47 and flown to exile in Costa Rica. The Honduran army then went about mopping up loyalist resistance. At week's end, just as the new regime was being sworn in, fighting broke out again in the streets of Tegucigalpa. A downtown hotel was set afire, and university students took potshots at patrolling soldiers. There was still no end to the bloodshed in the coup that had already...
...Mood. The Copley Family presented the National Gallery with no such difficulty, but the painting has a drama of its own. Though painted in 1776, it is associated with American independence only negatively. When the revolutionary clouds began to gather, Mrs. Copley quit Boston with her children and her loyalist family and sailed for London. There, her husband, who had been painting in Italy, joined her. He had not seen his family for more than a year, and the group portrait was done to celebrate the reunion. Copley's style had lost its stiffness in Italy...
