Appropriately the ruling upheld one of the most impressive members of the Southern federal judiciary. James Bryan McMillan, 54, looks and is the very model of a gracious Southern intellect. A North Carolina farmer's son, he was class of '40 at Harvard Law School, returned to his home state to set up a busy general-litigation practice, and in 1968 became one of Lyndon Johnson's last judicial appointees.

Committee has long been disliked by black Washingtonians. Therefore...

...flying birds on the sides of cardboard boxes, then has them stacked up by workmen in whatever arrangement they choose. Vacuum molding enables Californians Robert Brown and James Pennuto to transform aerial photographs of rugged terrain into three-dimensional centour maps. The simplest work of all is Jerry McMillan's Torn Bag: a paper bag ripped open to reveal a delicate woodland landscape printed on the inside...
