...Right of Violence. Police and FBI agents have failed to uncover any solid evidence. The tiny, 3,000-member Puerto Rican Pro-Independence Movement, a legal party led by San Juan Attorney Juan Mari Bras, 40, denies responsibility. "I can't conceive of any independence people carrying out such a campaign," says Bras. "But we don't deny the right of violence...
Last week the girls cleared the field again. When the eleven men and twelve women had finished playing their way through the single contest piece-Bach's monumental Goldberg Variations-the judges gave the first prize of $1,000 to Toronto Pianist Mari-Elizabeth Morgen, 23.

In later years, she was forever "tearing around on horseback and climbing the Pecos," digging behind legends of Indian wars, gamblers and lawmen for the tales she wove into a score of chronicles (Old Jules, Slogum House) whose gritty realism never...
